Phenomenal Black Mom

A sweet kiss from my daughters' lips when they tell me goodbye

Finally being able to let go of their hands hands because their not so little anymore

To know that I raised them right

Taught them right from wrong

Helped them stay on the right track

Taught them how to avoid naysayers and haters 

Because they will only try to destroy them

Phenomenal Black Mom that's me.

Spelling bees and cheer leading games

And tea-time with the bears

Paint on their hands and the writing on the walls

Look how far they have come

Beautiful young ladies and I raised them all on my own

Kissed every bruise

And taught them how to tie their shoes

Was always their when they needed me

Now its time they go

I set them free

To raise their own children and live their own lives

And become Phenomenal Black Moms and Leaders.

And make me..their mother proud
