no mama

ain’t no mama perfect

we try and we fail

we try

we fail

we make mistakes

big ones

we question everything we do

everything

                    we

                            do

“is this the right way?”

                 “what if i’m wrong?’

   “what if i’m right?”

                            “what if . . . ?”

         “what  . . . ?”

and we are always here

not “there”

not

there . . .

here

where we’ve always been

always

offering up ourselves

offering up

even that which you refuse

to give in return . . .

acceptance

compassion

sincere

infinite

unconditional

eternal

love

ain’t no mama perfect

but we love you like you are
