Family of Mine

My Father loved my mother dearly
cautiously showing us how to live fearlessly
and the daily livin’
of my mother’s vision
a promised life together, a Family

My brother was my mother’s first Greatest Love
her first taste of being a mother
he was and is a trailblazer
A great but reluctant leader
She always said she re-raised her big brother

My sister was my mother’s Pride
a little Queen with a big fire inside
she would be so proud to see
she raised the woman she wanted to be
A great mother who will fight or die by your side

I was my mother’s Hope, her Little Prince yet to be
despite the hurt, what I learned, changed that, see
Her hoped-for future
Imperfectly sutured
Now, there’s something else I’ve become
I am my mother’s Vengeance
and I am her greatest weapon
