Julie-Ann Beckford 

 
For nine months I was conceived in her womb
She delivered me she watched me bloom 

When I was inside she knew when I took my first breath
She held my hand when I took my first step 

She taught me how to pray 
She taught me how to talk 

She taught me to believe in myself and to accept my flaws 
She told me what was wrong 

She taught me what was right 
She made sure I was ok before sending me off to bed at nights
 
She took my first picture 
She taught me how to pose

She changed my smelly diapers
She wiped my runny nose 

When I couldn't please the crowd and I didn't fit in 
she showed me unconditional love that came from deep within 

I love and appreciate my mom
Her prayers are what keeps me going 
She is my superwoman
