This woman have been through a lot in her life
Struggles, life, and family for she had to fight,
On her daily stroll for her daily drugs
But not once did she get tired of the daily mugs.
As long as I know it may have been bout 18 years
Getting her children taken away, and all the tears,
But all that hatred still wasn't enough
Maybe it was because her childhood was rough.
With the trouble her brothers caused and the abuse
But to me that still was no excuse,
Why, for her children, did it have to be so hard?
Why my sister had the responsibility of what she had no part?
For her habit she did a lot of stealing
Not thinking that the consequence will be of her killing,
That's when I thought she had got the picture
But my thoughts and her addiction was one big mixture.
When I was 16, I had it real bad
She made it her business to get whatever it was I had,
That's when I decided I had to make my decision
On leaving for good, without her permission.
She though it was because I couldn't be with boys
Na not that, because she played me like I was a toy,
Not thinking that she was doing anything wrong
I guess for her it was the same old song.
There were times when I felt she'll never quit
Thought she'll be forever going after that good hit,
But as time went on, she slowly slowed down
Then I knew that she was starting to come around.
Now, it have came to total complete stop
She control her urges, now she can feel as she's on top,
Now she's not such a bother
Not just any woman, but she's my mother.
She now will have 2 yrs complete of being clean
We're all so proud of her, and that she knows we mean,
No matter what it is, how big or small the problem
She pulled herself together, and GOD helped her solve them.
I'm proud to say that she is now married
Something she claimed she will never be,
I guess she felt it was time for a change to come
True that, now she's a better lady anyone could become.
Mama I want you to know that I really do love you
And proud of the changes you made and went through,
I know you are damned proud of yourself
And of GOD because he was a big, BIG help.
