Imagine That
Imagine this for a second
Being a young woman, pregnant at 15
Not really sure how to do the “mommy thing”
But you handled it gracefully
Life happens again, 3 years in a row
’90, ‘91, and ’92
And before you knew it, you had a dope ass crew
Imagine years going by and thinking “I’ll give it one more try”
And now it’s ’95 and you’re a 24 year old mother of 5!!
Imagine 5 different attitudes
5 different birthday parties
Imagine working and going to school, to feed 5 mouths
Imagine barely seeing those 5 faces
Because you had to creep in after bedtime
And be gone before they woke up
Imagine losing your career in 2008 and praying to God
Then getting blessed with your OWN BUSINESS in 2009
Now imagine thinking, “Aw shit, I’m finally getting the hang of this!”
Then turning around and adopting 6 MORE KIDS!!!
Man life got crazy quick!
In the midst of all of this, that original 5 gave you 10 GRANDKIDS!!
Imagine sitting in your room at night
Crying and begging God to make sure you’re doing it right.
Imagine being told you’re not good enough
Imagine being a diamond in the rough
Imagine facing adversities, while dealing with your own demons
But still SMILING!
Imagine doing all of this, and STILL reaching your 10 YEAR BLACK OWNED BUSINESS ANNIVERSARY!!!
11 kids, 10 grandkids, and a booming business
Now let’s be honest, this shit sounds hectic!
Some may call a woman like this insane and maybe even crazy
But I call her MOMMY and let me tell you
You are the SHIT to me lady!!
You are blessed, you are STRONG
And Lord knows you are patient.
It was hard to imagine that life, huh?
Hell, I couldn’t imagine it either.
But my momma, my BLACK QUEEN does it FAITHFULLY & EFFORTLESSLY!
