Questions to a mother

Can I speak? Is what i asked my mother, and she said “as long as you have a voice to be heard”.
Can I love?  Is what I asked my mother, and she said “if you’re not looking for it and your heart is open to it”
Can I live? Is what i asked my mother, and she said “as long as God permits it”
Can I worship freely? Is what i asked my mother, and she said “yes you can, and don’t you let anyone tell you any different”
Is there life after death? Is what i asked my mother, and she said “son, you will just have to have faith”
Is there a God? Is what i asked my mother, and she said “look around you, take in all the beauty and that has been created, your answer is in the sky’s

I said this to my mother, “don’t you leave me in this world alone as i look to you for guidance and unconditional love. I look to you for inspiration and strength. I look to you when I can not see the way”
My mother turned to me and said, “son, all you seek, all that you desire, you will find in the hands of the Lord”

Mum

My mamma i cant allow myslef to acknowledge hom much time i’ve spent without you, because it hurts to think that the only reason i haven’t been around i didn’t allocate the time to even call you. The fights, the lies, the dead zones, the cries for God to help us understand one another mount up to high numbers.

I am who i am and you still love me…reguardless of how i walk or how many times i started war just so i could have a little more, despite the countless laws i broke while growing up and the countless blunders.

Sorry for the stress i caused, sorry for your early grey hair because i know i was part of the cause. Dad was always working and i now know it was you who tried to teach me and my brothers how to be men. Money was tight but i never went without food, you hustled hard to make sure we got through…the dark times and neglect from my dad too. You managed to get us the best clothes and shoes, you could afford although it would stress you.

I know i cant repay you for what you’ve done for me so i give you a son’s promise to make you proud.
