Mama Died

This pain is way worse than when dad passed away.

Prob because I had 30 more years to love her than dad.

But seriously, nobody loves you like your mother.

Her love was strong and sure. Always there.

I tell myself that the amount of pain I feel by her passing is proportionate to the depth of love that there was between us.

I also tell my self that one day in the future that same proportion will manifest itself in joy when I look back and remember her.

Challenge

Plea

She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene.

Turn your lights down low and open your window curtains.

Never been this blue never knew the meaning of a heart ache.

It was way past midnight and she still couldn't fall asleep.

Diamond girl you sure do shine.

I've been drinking I've been drinking.

Mama please stop crying and I can't stand the sound.

Once upon a time it was for real.

She's got a smile that it seems to me reminds me of childhood memories.

If you hear this message wherever you stand I'm calling every woman I'm calling every man we re the generation we can't afford to wait the future started yesterday and we're already late.

Transformation

I love that realization that I have become the person who is distinct from the one I just let go of; there is no undoing of this lesson learned; I have expanded into a better version of myself. I want to be touching my own transformation.
