My Mother Once Told Me..

My mother once told me

You have to learn how to stand

On your own two feet

My mother once told me

"I'm gonna show my girls

Don't depend on a man for anything"

My mother once told me

She's proud

Of the accomplishments

Her eldest has grown to be

And in her footsteps

She shall lead

For me

My mother once told me

Beauty and looks

Will get you so far

But brains and books

Will take you

To the stars

My mother once told me

I gave up alot for you two

Working theses jobs

For my kids

Dreams to pursue

My mother once told me

I love you angel

In my my heart I will keep

My three children close to me

My mother never told me

Did she get all these things

From her mother

I think

My mother once told me..
