Happy Mother’s Day Poem by Alvin Parkinson

Happy Mother’s day mommy with a hug and a kiss;
Hope you have a great day momma with love and a gift.
A pearl I found in this contaminated ocean of survival
And the weapon that you must use to win is the Bible.

I learn that from you and I’m grateful for the teachings,
I thank you for all the lovely words, and greetings.
May this day be like God’s day of the Sabbath,
Let your thirst be filled with water and hunger with cabbage.

I hope the present I give you, that you will like it.
I’m not going to tell you yet what it is, don’t you like surprises?
And when you do get it I know you won’t despise it,
Since I know most of your special prizes.

All what has happened in the past that brings bad memories,
Like with Alvriette and family members in jails and penitentiaries.
I pray it all evacuates and erases;
All the drama, foolishness, and disgraces.

And I pray that the past of good memories comes back,
And your future will make it better; I know you will love that.
May your heart’s desires and uplifting come in Jesus name I pray
I love you so much mommy, Happy Mother’s Day!
