You once repeated to me
the very wise words passed on to you
from your loving mother.
"When God made this world,
he made a cake big enough
for everyone to have a slice.
Sometimes, you just have to
fight for yours."
I listened to these words
as they echoed through my ears
and settled in my heart.
They gave me inspiration
and motivation to carry on.
For so long now I have offered my slice
to the people of higher power.
But I grew hungry and I grew weak
because I needed that slice of cake.
Having you in my life, it opened my eyes
and it opened my heart to believe.
I believe I deserve a slice of cake
and for you, I will fight for mine.
