Me And Mother Poem by niakeshia ferguson

Debra Williamson (Ferguson)
I am short, light- skinned round woman
My ancestors originated from Africa
Am a woman who has been though a lot of pain but the love my family show me will never be lost.
Am a woman who had breast cancer.

I am a mother of two kids’
Am from New York and Greenville S.C.
The greatest thing in my life was Niakeshia La’Qushia Ferguson
I had her after they told me I would die if I tried to have another baby.

Well they was wrong
I past away in 2000
Before my baby turned 7
but she know I was very sick
I tried very hard for her not to see me that way in the hospital
I still tried to be strong for my son and my Daughter

The hardest thing I ever had to face
Was when I found out I had breast cancer
I had to be strong for my two little kid’s Niakeshia and Timia.
At that time I learned who my real friends was
That the best thing in my life
I had was family.


Niakeshia Ferguson
I am who I am.
A child of the Africa’s or maybe the Americas
A tall, dark-skinned, loud, mocholatle’
A child who has music deep in her soul.
I am an African American
I am from Hot Fudge, Fried Chicken and Hot dogs.

I am New York, Florida, and Jamaica
A daughter of a man named nick that died before my 3rd birthday
A man of drugs and gangs.

I am Greenville, and Florida
Am the daughter of a woman named Debra that died before my 10th birthday.
A woman of love and who had to take care of her two kid’s with out any help from anybody.
A woman who loved me with all the power in her body after she got really sick.

Am also a parentless child who lost both of my parents at a very young age
Am a child that weeps after the lost of nick Ferguson and Debra Ferguson.
Now am strong knowing life doesn’t last forever.
You can be here on day and gone the next.
Teaching my future children to live each day to its fullest.
