Momma



             She would say push your shoulders back

             head held high in affirmation

             head held high using confidence as your

             flotation

             in this life

             held high because I made you

             designed with concentration

             Baby you are divine

             you speak truths that please the soul let

             your drip nourish the mind

             you walk in ways that intertwine


             Ways of righteous and attuned oversight

             and when I spoke, you listened rather than

             act angrily out of spite
             don’t think just because I’m old

             Momma don’t understand that these are

             lessons thrice sowed
