The Elements Of Life (Soul Of Myself) : All rights reserved by the author of this page.

Growing up poor and lean,
Shy, unnoticed...barely seen
I thought to myself 
why is this life so mean?
Resting on Mama's strong wings
She got me through the dark nights,
Through the long years 
Made me believe in better days
while wiping away the strong tears
I thank her for restoring
my childhood dreams
She refreshed me like a beautiful bay
Kept my eyes on the light
so I wouldn't fade away
My mama my queen

(Rest in peace Nov 2011)
