My mind is on the run Life is mundane no more fun It's downright monotonous Bcuz you're no longer here with us I got pieces of you flowing through my body Missing fragments of you make My heartbeat slowly Your effervescent smile Seeps into my visions while i sleep I find myself daydreaming of you constantly The death of you is sucking the life outta me You birthed 8 children 7 boys and me I was your only girl child You raised 6 males by yourself And never threw in the towel You and my brothers Called me your little princess I didn't realize then what you meant When you said your were blessed And we were heaven sent You did a great job raising all of us Without a father present Even though at times you had to discipline us When were disobedient And displayed resistance Raised in section 8 apartments Regardless you made the best of it You deserve everything in the blissful skies You are a stellar in my eyes Ode to you moms for what's owed to you Bcuz this homage is overdue You helped see us through Ode to you for all that you've done You birthed 8 children Not forgetting lonnie Who's in resting in heaven Your 6th son out of seven You sacrificed all of you so we can be who We are and do what we do Ode to you for what's owed to you These are my mental tirades And my emotional grenades Bcuz my days are filled with shade I'm a timed bomb ready to detonate And within myself there's a constant debate Go to church worship with the saints no wait Stay home and turn td jakes on oh yeah stay Should i or shouldn't i is this my fate? I think of death more now today than yesterday Sometimes in my dreams I find myself strolling Down the iridescent pathway Traveling at the speed of light To get to paradises highway But as soon as i get close to the pearly gate God orders me to go back where i came from Saying now is not your time yvonne Well i'm ready to see your face again mom But at the same time Not ready to leave my children Drifting alone in the wind Just some thoughts Of a daughter whose soul is dying Although i know you are reclining In god's heavenly lining These tears i can't stop crying Selfishness is my greed i'm praying And begging on my knees Constantly lord I need her back here with me please Thinking only of my fleshly wants And not what your spirit needs If i could just pull my self up To some of the sky's clouds A puff at a time to glimpse into heaven To see how you're enjoying life now Oh how we take for granted then What we miss now Bcuz if it wasn't for you I wouldn't be who i am now No way no how Ode to you for what's owed to you The pulse has been extracted from my heart The sight of the world without seeing you Is tearing me apart I long for your comforting talks Bcuz my heart is troubled It's been a short while so i continue to struggle And for now the liquor helps to numb me It takes me to another place so i can see and be Alone in my mind to fight with me My thoughts and my spirituality The insomnia has gotten worse The drinking has become a thirst A coping mechanism curse Carrying a flask filled with vodka in my purse Grey goose is my nurse The days are tragic but my nights are worse It wasn't your time it wasn't your time Keeps playing over and over again in mind You were exuberant on that sunday What changed what changed mama From that day to the morning of monday Moms you'll never know the pain i feel You'll never understand how On the day of your going home celebration I wanted to kill ill thoughts kept trickling thru My psyche things were outrageous Even on the day your were laid to rest You were being put through the test Bcuz some were still jealous and envious Seeming delighted your were no longer with us Their actions outlandish Not recognizing that your were the best You raised 7 of us all alone With the odds against you but you kept moving on And covered us and maintained no one could ever Ever understand my pain Thank you lord for helping me to sustain Thank you saints for helping me to return From where i came When i was on my way to a point of no return God god shifted some movement In the atmosphere So the devil lost his chance To put me in an urn Ode to you moms for what's owed to you Because this homage is overdue You helped see us through Ode to you for all that you've done You birthed 8 children Not forgetting lonnie Who's in resting in heaven Your 6th son out of seven You sacrificed all of you so we can be who We are and do what we do Ode to you for what's owed to you This is a dedication to my mother Dorothy lee epps-anderson And i miss you so much Rest in paradise i know it's nice You get to see your baby boy And i know that brings you a lot of joy Tearstains fill my cheeks daily But i know you're in a better place right now Cuz you're with your creator And that is so heavenly I love you and i miss you I miss you moms i miss you I feel like i've been flatlined Just walking around flatlined
