    I would like to start by saying Happy Birthday to my mama

    Over the years we both have been through some drama

    It has been almost two years, since you past and gone away

    Just so you know I haven’t forgot, I’m saying Happy Birthday

    I love you with all of my heart, but I wish things were different

    I wish that I could have gotten more of your attention

    Somehow the love was still there, truly, I know it

    I just feel that sometimes that you didn’t show it

    Maybe that’s why I want me a good woman so bad

    To show me the love that I wish you had

    I’m not dissin you mama, just trying to make immense

    If I had a second chance to pick a mother, I would pick you all over again

    I wish you were to guide me some mo (more)

    And answer the questions about women that I just don’t know

    Like why they always love the bad men and treat the good ones like shit

    There are some things about women that I just don’t get

    I know you see my kids everyday, and that is fo-show, I just wish you were still here to watch them grow
    I thought I was a good man at the end of everyday

    But I guess not mama, because she still took the kids and went away

    Sometimes life feels like a pot of water, and it is trying to boil me

    But I make it, and I thank you, because you didn’t spoil me

    Tell Ike I said hi, I know he glad to have you back

    For the record, I forgive you for anything you did wrong, even the smoking crack

    Not that you are asking for forgiveness, I just wanted to let you know

    That you are my mama, I love you, so I forgive and let go

    I know that you are tracking the fact that your other son is sitting in a jail

    They say he did a real bad crime , so they put him in a cell

    How did we come from the same womb and end up so different

    I wonder what I had that he was missing

    But I always longed for some of his qualities as well

    Then I think if I did have them, shit I might be sitting in a cell

    Mama I wish you were here to help with this complex situation

    These days I find it hard for me to write him , and give him words of motivation

    This whole life is crazy and I don’t know what to do

    So I just keep souping myself up, saying that I can make it through

    The truth is sometimes I don’t believe it 100%, and I just don’t know
    So I just play the cards that I am dealt and see how it go

    The marriage is gone to shit and I miss my kids everyday

    Mama that hurts me like hell because I didn’t want them growing up this way

    You know what I mean, a single parent home like me

    You did your best, but two heads is better than one you see

    I just hope that I can raise them to be better than me

    So Happy Birthday Mama, - I got birthday wish.

    That you appear in my dreams and give me a kiss

    And please tell GOD to watch your kids' back-

    Cause yo baby boy is trying get his life on track.

    Your poem is simply amazing...Sometimes it seems many women don't want a good man but you never let anyone change who you are..You keep being that good man and in the end your true reward will come becasue we all go throught obstacles in life but I'm learning everyday it's not what we go through but how we deal with it that makes the difference.You stay strongand keep writing and pray cause God has wha tyou need!!

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
