Happy birthday Momma T

We've all survived another year without you

And whew, it's been a rough one,

Well, at least for me it's been

A year of heartbreak and heartache

A year of my highest highs and lowest lows

A year of shifting, changing, growing

A year of pain, grief, sorrow, and joy.

Can't tell you how many times

I just wanted to come see you

Whether to know more of what you're like

Or to know more of what Heaven's like

But though my heart

Yearns for new memories

And my soul sometimes

Years for relief

I'm still here

Trying my best

To make sure you're still proud

Of your own little miracle

And I know this next year without you

Will prove to be the hardest yet

Because come Sept 7, 2025

I'll have breather longer than you were alive

An obvious blessing, I know

But it feels like an impending curse

That will fall over me because God knows

Plenty times when I could've fit in a hearse.

But it doesn't sit right

My spirit gets tossed and twisted

Conflicted whether this honors you

Or you may somehow be offended

But I do indeed promise

To continue holding my head up high

Extending your legacy

Until the very day I die.

I love you

I miss you

I need your strength

I am forever your little cheri
