                          Mom
Ever since I could remember,
You taught me right from wrong.
You dried my tears when I was hurt,
You gave me love to keep me strong.
You taught me ways of Jesus Christ,
I know it seems as though you taught me in vain.
For you watched me run with Satan
And play his wicked games. You always wanted the best for me.
But I chose a different life.
1 let the streets become my home,
And the drugs became my life.
Now I turned my ways around.
And yes God is #1 in my heart.
It would have been much easier
If I would have kept him there from the start,
But I could always count on you Mom
To stand by me through thick and thin,
And that's why I'm so grateful
To have you as my best friend.
�Lamonte Hammond
