By next week, we should have photos from the Young Writers Reading Series to share. Both events were amazing!

For the next few days, we’ll share poems that WITS students have dedicated to their mothers.

To My Mama

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
before you or I die
to keep it real with me,
day by day.

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
I apologize for not being
there for you when you needed me most.
The hurt I’ve caused you, you shouldn’t have to pay.

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
although there were bad break ups,
horrible fights ending in blood shed,
it wasn’t your fault. I’m glad you didn’t stay.

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
when my sisters came into the world,
I was worried about getting replaced,
but now I see you love us all in many different ways.

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
sorry for being disrespectful to your husband.
I know you expected more of me
and for forgiveness, I pray.

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
it’s been years since you’ve talked to my father as a friend.
He’s let go, so it’s your turn to let go of the grudge.
Try out a whole new friendship and indulge.

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
I’m glad that since I’ve moved,
You’ve been more involved in my life,
taking away some of the strife.

To my mama, I would like to say . . .
that I love, adore, and admire
you for the strength you’ve had throughout the years,
without breaking down and crying buckets of tears.
