How I love, Who I Love When I arrived I was a bit infantile No knowledge of knowledge No likes or dislikes No fears or regrets Just love. I was catered to by nature Cared for with compassion Taught with determination Raised with respect Humbled with piety While being molded I was scolded when wrong Corrected for perfection Uplifted when right Allowed to blossom Into my own greatness Create my own lane Absorb my own color Provide my own reason For being me. I was advised to live in my truth Treat people with kindness Defend myself Family and friends And love those worthy of my love. Not those who take care in abusing it But those who know how to reciprocate it Never be sorry about who can't appreciate me Who won't appreciate me Who never intended to appreciate me. Always demanding respect Deserving respect Displaying respect From knowing no one Only your heartbeat and your voice With Allah's lead and your dedication This exemplifies the journey of the last 44 years Mother and daughter Forever companion Always my second protector And I am yours Happy Anniversary Mommy!
