Barbara Is My Mother

“Barbara is my Mother”

 

As I eagerly wake up each day a new, I am immediately and constantly reminded of you!

Every time I look in the mirror a replica of you shines through.

From my deep slanted eyes and full lips to my rich black skin.

From my ambition to my independence; my genetic traits from you are a given.

You lead by example and you love without boundaries.

You give without expectation and showcase humility profoundly.

Every day you seamlessly multi-task and are always there when someone needs you.

You have never neglected any of your family even if it is not always reciprocated to you.

I am amazed at how you are the constant achiever and don’t let anything hold you back.

Your turn failures into lessons; don’t let obstacles disable you; a quitter’s heart is what you lack.

Your unconditional support of family has made you a legend in your own right.

Barbara you are my mother; I love you and I tell the world with the upmost delight!
