THANK
YOU - MIDI
For
Mama
She
has laughed, She has cried.
She
has lived and loved.
She
has done without,
She
has had everything she could ever want.
She
has managed a family on next to nothing.
And
always made sure, we didn't know about it.
She
has suffered physically, emotionally,
But
very seldom, spiritually.
Her
love is boundless,
Her
regret is hidden.
Her
hands are like stone,
Her
hands are like silk.
She
has held our heads,
While
we burned with fever.
She
has cleaned our cuts,
And
taken the fire out of burns.
She
has let us grow, and fall.
She
has picked us up and set us on our way.
She
has hoped.
She
has been disappointed, She has been proud.
She
has lost loved ones,
She
has kept them near.
She
has said goodbye, and cried.
She
has said hello, and cried.
She
has cooked, cleaned,
Mended,
built. Made a house into a home.
She
has laughed with us,
And
held us as we cried.
She
shared her life and dreams with one man
Only
to see those dream fade when the man passed away.
She
has taken burdens upon herself
Which
were not hers to bear.
And
through all of this,
All
these years, she has remained,
Mama.
