"Ain't it just like a black women to have a day dedicated to her but spend it praying for somebody else..." i mean wow.😩💙
Stephanie Mayumbelo that part got me to🙌🏾😫
"It gets harder and harder to get us all together like this" ... How can I even leave comments when this poem speaks for itself?
"Just come as you are" is the point where it became super emotionally charged in my opinion. Wonderful poem!

Mothers are special women that God anoints and puts in charge of most families, yes Mom is most likely the Head of Household. Respect your Mother because you only get one real one and she loves you with every fiber in her being.
Happy Mothers Day
Steven needs WAYYY more recognition. All of his poems S P E A K and my God they speak so well--
Mother's Day... A hard day for me and my mother, as she lost her mother on that day when I was 12, and I lost a baby that day when I was 27. I have 2 healthy boys, and I pray my heart out on mother's day that God takes no more from me on that day. God bless you all
Beautifully written and spoken. Gorgeous.
Thanks for listening
"Aint it just like a Black Woman dedicated to her but spent it praying it for someone else? "
Amazing! Thank you Steven. Your talent is God given. No doubt, prayed for by a mother and Grandmother.
i never cried so hard
Wow! I was *compelled* to hear this! The title, the words, everything pops out at you.
Yo, WHAT JUST HAPPENED. Wow. I cried and laughed and screamed, just wow.This shit REAL.
This makes me wanna cry
We are all here under our grandmother's hymms, hats and hallelujahs 👌🏾
I lost my oldest a week b4 my birthday, 2 weeks b4 Mother's Day. It's never easy. But for black mom's losing children to the guns of racism, I can't imagine
Toshi J I am so sorry for your loss.
@Toshi J
I can't imagine either. We have to figure a way for this madness to stop. But how???
Sometimes I wonder why God just doesn't wipe us all off the face of the earth again, like He did in Noah's time. Why can't we all just get along...
RIP George Floyd... who cried out for his momma...
