To the woman who didn’t give us everything
Because today’s the 1st day of Women’s Month and my Mama’s birth month, here’s a little tribute for her.... TO A MOTHER WHO DIDN’T GIVE US EVERYTHING My mom didn’t give everything to us, and I thank her for that. She didn’t marry another man to give us a dad when our Papa died, hence, I realized that true love lasts even after death. She wasn’t able to give us a home where only us would live, hence, we learn to live and mingle with others in an extended-family-home set-up. She didn’t get back to working, hence, we saw how much time she put for us everyday and we grew up getting all of her time and attention. She didn’t give us a house helper not only because we can’t afford it that time, hence, we learn to do house chores. She didn’t easily give all the things we prayed or dreamed of, hence, we learn to strive to get those things on our own. She didn’t help us on our school assignments, hence, we learn to discover and learn new things on our own. S
