Yes You Are Mama!

You taught me everything, Everything you've given me
I'll always keep it inside, You're the driving force in my life
There isn't anything, Or anyone that I could be
And it just wouldn't feel right, If I didn't have you by my side

You were there for me to love and care for me
When skies were gray
Whenever I was down
You were always there to comfort me

And no one else can be
What you have been to me you will always be
You will always be the girl
In my life for all times

Mama, you know I love you
Mama, you're the queen of my heart
Your love is like tears from the stars
Mama I just want you to know lovin' you is like food to my soul, Yes it is

You're always there for me, Have always been around for me even when I was bad
You showed me right from my wrong, Yes you did
And you took up for me, When everyone was downin' me
You always did understand, You gave me strength to go on

There was so many times, Looking back when I was so afraid
And then you come to me and say to me, I can face anything
And no one else can do, What you have done for me
You'll always be, The girl in my life mama

Never gonna go a day without you,
Fills me up just thinkin' about you
I'll never go a day, Without my mama
Lovin' you is like food to my soul
Yes you are, mama!

A Poem For My Precious Late Father!

     Daddy, I love you
     For all that you do
     You kiss me
     You hug me
     'Cause I know you love me
     You feed me
     You teach me
     'Cause I know you care of me
      
      Daddy, I miss you                   
      For all that you do
      You tell me bedtime stories             
      So I can sleep well
                                                 You tell me jokes
                                                 So I can smile and laugh
                                               
                                                 One solid reason
                                                 You are really my precious daddy
                                                 'Cause you never get mad at me
                                                 And for that
                                                 I'm gonna love you forever daddy
                                                 I'm gonna miss you a lot daddy
                                                 
                                                 My precious daddy
                                                 Named Gerard Ajang Taja
                                                 May your soul rest in peace
                                                 Amen.
