Dear Mama Pt 2

Dear Mother,
I just wanted you to know
That today you made me proud.
And I’m truly ecstatic of the fact that
I am your child.

Today marked the first day
Of my life
That I’ve seen you sober,
The first day of me seeing you in your right mind
Glad to know that
Your days of getting high are now over.

My prayers have been answered
Through the darkest hour
Our Heavenly Father has carried your weary body
And soothed your aching feet,
When that monkey was on your back
He made him take a seat.

Dear Mama,
Today I was proud to introduce you to my boyfriend
And say, “This is my mama”
“Don’t we look like sisters?”

You’re no longer a “crackhead”
Or a fiend, or a ghost or witch
Your now a Recovering addict
And I’m proud of that shit!

It’s been 18 years of you hitting that pipe
But I’m glad that you’ve changed
And now you’re getting it right.

Mama,
I’m here for you
It’s gonna get rough some days
Just know I’m one call away
Just one phone call away.

P.S…..
I love You
