Appreciation .
My Mother And I Had A Beautiful Day Together Today, Not Because It Was Mother’s Day, But Because We Both Have An Underlying Appreciation For Each Other Each And EVERY DAY.
This Morning, My Neighbor Died . And Though It Was Saddening To Come To Know, I Was Somewhat Relived. For She Has Spent Her Mother’s Day With Her Mother, Alongside God, Our Father. However, A Sight To Behold Was That Of Her Granddaughters. Those Who Had Repeatedly Hit, Curse At, And Abuse Her For Far Too Many Years, Sitting On Their Front Porch Crying. Now Having Come To Realized, With Her Passing, They Now Belong To The State Of New York City And Will Be Placed Into Foster Care. Never Did They Fully Understand The Gift They Had Been Given.
Too Many Days Coming Home From School Had I Seen The Feeble Old Lady Shed Tears Because Se Understands Not Why She Is Treated The Way She Was. Daily Her Granddaughters, Ages Fifteen And Thirteen, Would Smoke Weed And Consume Alcohol, One Of Them Having A Child Of Their Own.
Too Many Of Use Take What We Have For Granted . However, I Am Grateful For Mine . Never Has A Paternal Figure Stuck By My Side . My Mother However Has Never Forsaken Me . I Have Seen Her Shed Tears, And Work Her Tiny Little Hands Of Too Get To This Point Of Comfort.
What We Possess Now It Not Promised Tomorrow . Learn To Appreciate .
