Momma I Told You You Are All That and Bowl of Diamonds

Momma I asked you why you had me.

-Son you were a gift from God

Momma You never told me why God created Man.

-Son some questions have no answer when God gives you the desires of your heart.

Momma you said I was a man and you nurtured me.

-Son I used my motherly instinct, God given wisdom, and strength of my soul to birth you in this world.

Momma you always wanted me to finish school.

-Son knowledge is power and no one can deny you knowledge over ignorance

Momma you are always a lady in my eyes.

-Son my example was your guide to find a wife that will stand honorably at your side.

Momma you never doubt me.

-Son doubt is the door to a room of excuses that you will never imbark upon because you are a winner and never looser.

Momma you put your best in me and gave me all your love.

-Son I lived for you when you were infant to man. I was your future. Now I am your past and you are my future.
