First Love
You’ll only regret it when I get heartbroken
⟹ ⟹ ⟹ PLAY THE SONG BEFORE YOU START READING
Mummy Mi by Wizkid
There is a way you smile
It’s from the heart
There is a way you sigh
I can tell them apart
You are a fighter
A difference maker
One of those stealthy and calculated
Kingmakers
It’s funny to say I’ve watched you grow
When you birth me
But there are things in life
That you’ve helped me know
You taught me in the way of the Lord
And helped me learn to be grateful
For what we could afford
You worked three jobs to give me the best
You have put it work
Now it’s time for us to pay you back as you rest
You have moved mountains to give us everything
And I continue to pray to God that he gives us
The grace to repay your love
Because it has been tremendous and amazing
Time and time again
We’ve had our differences
Not gotten along
But having you in my corner
Has given me the confidence
To battle on and stay strong
You are a one woman that amazes me
Your level of grace
The patience you afford people
You willingness to fight battles on your knees
The bar has been set tremendously high
Sometimes I wonder if it’s even worth letting someone try
I have tried to write this for weeks
But every single time
My eyes are filled with tears
My mind wanders
As it sorts through the years
You have been amazing
A superwoman
One of the greatest amongst her peers
You have taught us so much
Given us such a gift
Of love
True love and devotion
You have loved us hard
With all your energy and with such passion
I fell in love with you before I could speak
Now I want to use every voice I have
To let the whole world know what I think
Mummy
You are my greatest
One of the best things to happen to me
You have given me the best platform to build a legacy
And whatever comes from me
I can be rest assured
That God gave me one of his best soldiers
And teachers to teach me the way
So on this day,
I stand here and I take a bow
To honor God
And I thank him for you
For giving me my first love
For giving me my first taste of unconditional love
You are my bigger than my favorite team
Bigger than wayward dreams
You are everything and so much more
Today,
Mummy, I stand here to say
I truly love you
You are the best
From the bottom of my heart and with all I’ve got
Happy birthday Mummy
Now let’s crack open the bottle and do shots
Of apple cider
Sorry, sorry, Woman of God. I forgot.
I love you mom,
Happy birthday.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY NEXT SERIES IS???????? KEEP READINGGGGGG
Audio I sent to her this morning….
I had already written this weeks #WordsofWednesday but I think I need to stop writing that ahead of time because somehow, something new inspires me and then I write a new one. Smh at my damn self.
What I had written before was meant to talk about “Cranberries” specifically someone that broke my heart and led me to writing but I made a mistake. The real MVP that got me into writing is my mother. My mother got her Masters in English, a very well read woman. She had a way of manipulating words and getting a message across with just the right amount of emotion (sounds familiar right??? Kinda like this guy).
She used to buy me a tremendous amount of books and I would race through them soaking in all the words, emotions and different styles. I was always a good English student and huge in literature and also drama. All that is down to her.
Truthfully, ladies and gentlemen, my mother is the one you should truly thank for #WhatTheHeckMan
The confidence she gave me. The verve she bestowed on me. I knew I could do anything I set my mind to. Anyone that knows me very well knows that I’m a fighter when it comes to things I want and just like my mom, I won’t let up until I have it.
A lot of the man I am today is because of my mother and a lot of who I want to become will be a testament to how great my mom is. The bar has been set high for my “second mom” but for now, I want to appreciate my first love. For giving me life and teaching me the way I should go.
I want to thank all the cranberries out there but I also want to thank God for giving me a woman dedicated to raising me right.
I ask you today to show her (your parents) all the love you got. Go the extra mile. Put a smile on their faces. Let them know you care and love them from the bottom of your heart. Remember, they are your “first loves” and they’ll love you unconditional love for as long as they live.
Ladies and Gentlemen, #WhatTheHeckMan folk, please raise your glasses or squeeze your pure water tighter as we wish my mother a very Happy Birthday!!!!!
Today is also a great day for a different reason as my good friend, loving heart and #WhatTheHeckMan in house editor who has been involved in almost every story on this blog celebrates her birthday! Shoutout to you S. You are loved and appreciated.
This is a different feel to #WordsofWednesday. It’s my mother’s birthday, I’m all mushy and stuff. You should be too. Did I hear you say no?!
What The Heck Man?????
Title Run
I woke up with a headache. I couldn’t remember what had happened. It felt like full-blown AMNESIA. I looked around and noticed I was in a locked room; I was TRAPPED. My hands felt heavy, I checked them and noticed they were SCARRED. I stood up and looked outside the window. It was like an EMPTY desert with what seemed to be a MIRAGE far off. I began to remember what happened, I had reached for the REMOTE CONTROL when I was drunk and noticed I had messed up the TRIANGLE OF REVENGE. I was supposed to just sit in my seat and be the UNDERCOVER PLAYER but I was intoxicated because when I tried to get up again, everything seemed BLURRED. I bowed my head as I thought of it all, my journey and my pains, I realized I am IMPERFECT but situations like this cannot keep happening. I have to be more aggressive and more SELFISH regarding thing that had to do with my happiness.
