Dear ma, I wish we had more time together 54 years sounds like a long time, but I wish it was longer There's a lot of things I didn't get to say Thank you You pushed me to be great and you taught me right from wrong You raised me to fight my own battles And if I needed to, pick up something and hit him wid it You put me through college, I don't know how you did it Everything you did, shaped me into the man I am today You are the single most influential person in my life And I thank you Love, your son
