Mama's Wisdom Whispers

her wisdom is a whisper
during times like these
when you are hurting and simply
trying to be
who you are

don't fight the urge, the need
to grow into your own
there will be bumps and bruises when you fall
but you will get up
cause it's in you
you come from a long line of strength and endurance

if you break, in any way
you can make yourself whole again
sometimes
breaking down
is breaking through

i love you...
