I’ve been blessed with a woman
who’s been part of my life
Since I was seventeen
(Her son’s future wife)
She quickly became
“Mama J” to me
Her heart the size
Of the the biggest sea
She took me right in
To her wide open heart
Made me feel special
Like I was a part
Of this wonderful family
Full of life and of fun
And I felt like her daughter
When I married her son
She shared from her heart
Whenever we talked
And she’d listen to mine
When we went on long walks
A mother-in-law
Like nobody’s seen
A friend, a mentor
She’s always been
She became “Nama”
To all of my babies
A devoted grandma,
No ifs, ands or maybes
She shared in my grief
When my son passed away
She’d faced that same grief
She understood my pain
Mama J, you’ve been there
More than half of my life
You’ve shared every joy
You’ve shared every strife
Thank you for loving me
The way that you do
And I hope that you know
How much I love you
So once again,
Here is my heart
My second mom
Who loved me from the start
I know I’ve been blessed
For all of this time
And I thank Jesus for you
So glad you are mine!
Love, love, love you Mama J!!!
So true! I hope she was able to see this!!!
I hope she saw it too! I can’t remember if she did or not!
