Thank You

Today my daughter said “Thank you Momma”
And I’ve heard her thank me more than a million times 

But this thank you, made me thank God
That I am a Momma

My daughter and son calls me
Mom, Mother, Momma and a couple of nicknames 

That we only understand
One nickname was my sons

How it became mine
I’ll never know how that happened

But I’ll answer nonetheless

My family is a great blessing to me
And a great joy

For me this is wealth
And prosperity
