Something sure smells good!
In the kitchen my mother stood
No matter the time of day
Mama always made a way
Filling my mind
Never allowing me to drop behind
Canvassing my heart
Her love for me was off the chart
On her knees she stayed in prayer
Always the key to our family affair
Faith surpassing all measure
Within my mother I found the greatest treasure
My dream became her dream
Hope was the MVP on our team
Her strength always kept me in amazement
To witness her faith, everyone was in amazement
Neither cancer nor divorce
Could throw her off course
Knowing her help came from the Lord was her driving force
Looking back never did I think I would replicate
However from the very start her mission was to educate
Educating others to elevate
Her life she would come to dedicate
Her value shall never depreciate
As I grew up and had kids of my own I began to speculate
Sometimes I even began to overestimate
But God had already made the way for my mother,
He chose to designate
For all I had to do was review and demonstrate
For any illness she was there to medicate
For every choice she did meditate
Our life she would never supplicate
Her undying unwavering love, it would never suffocate
No falsehood at all, her lessons she would forever authenticate
With her wisdom, I will always accelerate
The recipe of my mother, I shall forever celebrate
Faith, hope and love never shall I underestimate
