I'm writing this letter to express my gratitude and appreciation for you. I want to thank you for being there to support me when I needed it the most and for always loving me. Words can never truly capture how I feel about you and the difference you've made in my life but I'm going to try. Your strength, patience and kindness has taught me about how I should be as a person and shows me how to always treat other good even when they may do wrong unto me. You've been blessed with an amazing heart and I honestly don't know how you deal with me but I thank God everyday for having you in my life. You've been a mother, a supporter, a friend and everything I've ever needed you to be for me.
The thing about you that I admire the most is your selflessness. I thank you for always being willing to put yourself aside for my better and live your life in a way where I benefit from every decision you make. You've taught me how to fight and fend for myself, be a strong independent woman and never grow bitter or give up even through the toughest of life's circumstances. You've been dedicated to me my whole life and have shown me the type of love anyone would be blessed to have. You've done everything in your power to make a better life for me and now I feel it's time for me to do the same for you. I've learned how to set aside having fun and having friends to handle what needs to be done and make sure at the end of the day I know exactly what I'm working for. You're the most important person in my life and I hope you know that.
I used to be a child and now I am a young lady thank to you. I am on my way to becoming a beautiful woman like you one day and having a type of love that never stops giving. I am still all the things I was before but now I am so much more thanks to you. I've learned responsibility and am still working on patience and compassion to deal with others and I thank you for helping me to grow in those areas everyday. I'm not sure what else to say but I would like you to know that I love you dearly and couldn't have been the person I am today without your help, discipline and love.
With Love,
Ajah
Ode to Mama
Thank you first off, I must say
for each beautiful and waking day
I get to see your lovely face.
A love so true you give to me
and show me what it is be
selfless and show humility.
Your kind heart is ever warm,
protecting me even through the storms
til dawn breaks dust and shows the shore.
A wave of light comes splashing in
when you show me to appreciate my skin,
for that's where I began and where I shall end.
Not in the ground but up in the sky
where we know Ivol can fly,
one day we'll be right by his side.
Please don't ever go away
for I would have no words to say
I need you.
Need here to strengthen me,
help me get to where I want to be
and teach me to get on my knees.
To always give thanks no matter what
even if I feel I have the worst of luck
cause sometimes I just have to suck it up.
Work each day to earn a keep
to make certain I have a place to sleep,
Mama you have been so sweet.
A few tears drop and I realize again
just how much you've been a friend
and that your loving never ends.
Each struggle we've faced
each time we've embraced,
no one could ever take your place.
A mentor you have been so true
to show me all the shades and hues
of every change that we go through.
Honest no matter how it may sound
both feet planted firmly on ground
Sweeter than the sweetest sound.
Your voice your words
the things I've heard
teaching me street smarts because I was a nerd.
Making sure I'll be okay wherever I go
whether its with my palm trees or in the snow
This ode to you is thanks I show.
Ode to mama.
