Dear Mom

Dear mom,
It's been a year
and I still can't believe
your gone,
I'm just writing this to you
to let you know what i've done.

I know about when you told dad
" Please take care of him"
He's done good so far,
We're closer than we've ever been.

When I go out, like when we used to browse and see,
Yeah, sometimes, I stop and look for you,
But I know you're still with me.

Mom, do you know what I wanna do?
Put a heart over my heart
with your nickname
Thanks mom.New idea. Brand new tattoo.

Damn, there were tough times,
As you well know,
But I did what I can,
And made it through all of it,
Your little boy became a man.

And there are those who, for years said

"You know, he won't amount to shit"
And when I do what I do,
I'm gonna give em the J3 one finger salute and say:
" Yo, mom. We did it !!!
Then they'll fall to their knees and stick out their hands,
Then they'll admit:
"Yes, indeed your little boy became a man"

Originally Written Sept. 26, 2000 to commemorate the first anniversary of the passing of his mother...
