I remember
the moment of enlightenment
the moment
I first realized
Mom was also
a woman
Just like me
Learning
Growing
Doing the best she can
making the best decisions
she knows how
A child herself
raising children
showing them love
giving them confidence
teaching them faith
believing in their dreams
A woman herself
who laughs and cries
sometimes insecure and unsure
with hopes and dreams
beliefs about life
and all that it’s meant to be
Just like me
Know My Worth
