What I Have

by Jermaine Banks - Cancer

What I Have
I have a mother who has dealt with back pains and 
Nights with nothing but tears
Never forgot where she came from and 
Has dealt with mistakes from her younger years
Becoming a young mommy to a grown mother and
Being an example of a man to her only son, 
Who has no father figure or brother
Non-materialistic, never cared about silver of gold
She carried a family, which is more than muscles can hold
She always kept everything in order
The world is lucky to have her and 
I thank the Lord for her
She looks out for children as if they were her own kid
A mother strong enough for a nation
Always left a mark at whatever she did
If you were there at dinnertime she made sure you were feed
If she spoke, you make sure you know what she said
I have a mother who has dealt with back pains and 
Nights with nothing but tears
But she always made it there in time to ease my fears
I know that I will always have her love to endear.
