My Mommy
My mommy
Working hard
Cooking food
Loving me and my sisters
Taking us places
My mommy
Syeiohn
My Mommy
helping me do my homework
watching "Tomorrow is Forever"
loving the three of us equally
cleaning the house
going to school, so we can learn from her
being my best friend

My Mommy
Praying in church
Singing at our house
Eating at a buffet
Shouting at me
Looking at me
Dozing off
Staring at things
My mommy
