Ninth Wonder…

(For the Most Important Woman in My Life)

She’s a strong woman, bold and wildly independent, has a heart like gold… a tongue sharp, like a razors edge but with an angel’s soul.

I watch her closely, yes… I’m forever trying to figure her out. She’s a walking contradiction, at times insecure, at times reckless but mostly just… proud.

She has pretty brown skin, and a voice like an angel… with eyes like fire, she’s the first… the first woman I adored, the first I admired.

She’s my source of affection, the first to show me love…. says she prayed for me everyday… till I was sent from up above.

In dark times, it’s her voice telling me things will get better, to not let faith go out of reach… and whenever I’m in her presence my spirit finds the most amazing sense of peace.

During times of unimaginable hurt… she tries to take the weight of my burdens… to lift me up, gives my spirit a boost… takes the world onto her shoulders… she fights with me… she fights for me, she fights for me over… and over…

She says if she could teach me two things…
The first would be to always remember the best parts of myself… even when the flaws seem to be too many.  Beauty comes from treating others well… she said BEAUTY… not PRETTY.

The second is simple… no matter how much you may want something… no matter how often prayers for it may flow… there are times when the best answer God can give to you is very simply just… ‘No’.

I walk in her footsteps hoping everyday to make her proud… she’s my best friend, the love of my life, she’s the ninth wonder… She’s my heartbeat… my support system… I’m honored because she’s my mother.

Happy Birthday Mom you are my heartbeat 1/10/46  :-*
Love you always…. – Nova
