Words We Share
mama
more
look
up
No
wow
oowweee
uh oh
tah dah
nye-nye and
bye.
Words that will be yours alone:
donor
who helped create me
biological mother
who chose to make me
this brown skin
lighter than
an older brother
to watch over me
Words that will be his alone:
birth mother
who relinquished
adoptive mother
who claimed
my black skin
as dark as the man
who I don’t know and
a younger brother
who adores me
Words that you will never know
no black man
will ever be
elected president
Words that we will share
family
love
together
because
Words that I look forward to
Yes
Please
I love you too
I do
Remember at your graduation when
It doesn’t snow here

Great post.
But under looking forward, you forgot:
"I bought you a house, ma"
You're right. And, "Don't worry private duty nursing is included ma.."
