Champion

Champion

By Laci Miller

Hey mamma did you know?

You are a champion in my eyes

From the moment of my conception

I was your beautiful surprise

You helped me devour knowledge

That produced clear thoughts

Everything I’ve ever known

Through you I was taught

Although you weren’t my first word

Im sure you’ll be my last

My final hour thanking god for the mother that I had

You broadened my horizons and showed me the world

Taught me how to groom myself into a proper girl



Through your actions you showed me strength

Through your words you embodied love

And whenever I was stuck

You gave me that needed shove

It’s a wonder it took a song to inspire this poem

Cause your everyday inspiration is outside of the norm



Our discussions about the world

Created the rants on my paper

And when I’m in your arms

There ‘s not a place that feels safer

You endured my bad attitude

And had some close calls too

But when all is said and done

In the end it was you

Always supporting your baby

My lioness protecting her cub

And I hope when I have my princess

And she looks up above

She prays for me like I pray for you

You are the epitome of love

You are the epitome of my aspirations

Did you know mamma

I want to be just like you

How can I possibly show my adoration for a woman so true

Hopefully these words will mark the beginning of my tribute

Mamma I hope you know you are a champion in my eyes
