    Words from Momma
    Living life out on the street
    Pannin change from people
    You'd never care to meet
    What has made them so special
    And me, such a bum
    Is it how they were raised
    Or just where we're from
    I once had a mother
    who thought I was the best
    Raised me good
    While in her nest
    Be patient my son
    My Mom used to say
    You'll be a great man
    And show them all some day

    As I raise my head and close my eyes
    I sit with momma and ask, was it all lies
    With that warm and comforting grin
    She says to me
    Son,
    Being poor aint no sin
    Your heart is strong
    And your words are true
    There will never be a rich man
    That could ever hold a candle to you
    Always stand proud
    And always stay true
    And then
    even the rich man
    Will see, a great man--in you

    Wow! Chrios, This Poem Really Touched My Heart.! Sounds Like Your Mother Is A VERY SPECIAL LADY! Remember, That She Holds You In A Place Of Her Heart That You, Or Anyone Can Quite Understand...And That Is Where Her Words Come From As She Speaks To You.. To Her You Will Always Be Someone Great.. Not Just Because Of Who She Is.. But...You're A Part Of Her..She Believes In You And Have Been Seeing You Since, Before You Could See You.. Being Rich Or Poor Doesn't Symbolize Who We Are As A Person...Only States What We Have, Our Outter "image" And What We've Accomplished In Success, Yes, Accomplishment Are Important, But, Only According To What You Want From Life! 1Man's Dream Doesn't Have To Be Another's. 1 Man And His Family May Live In a 5BedRm Home With Pool& Everything. Another May Be In a 2 BedRm With Yard And Family.. And They Can Have Their Love And One Another And Be Truly Happy. While The Other Is Not.....That What I Believe To Be True And Real.. In My Opinion What Symbolizes who We Are Is The Heart Of Us....Take The Heart And Multiply It With All That Mother'sLove Along With God's Love, Along With A little Faith, Living And Being The Best Man That You Can Be, Is What Makes You A Man " Rich Or Poor, And That Is What Symbolizes Who You Are! And Chrios, You Can't Put A Price Of Riches And Gold On That Kind Of INTEGRITY! And In My Spirit, I Feel That You Are Filled With Much Richness.... And Lastly, I Believe That On The Day That Each Of Us Was Born.. It's Kinda Like God Attached A Purpose To Us..And For Every Star That Exist, There Is One For Each Of Us. No Matter What Our Mistakes In Life Or Challenges...Therefore; I Say Go Get Yours...And What Ever Transpires From That Purpose You Find Will Be Yours And Yours Alone...And Doesn't Have To Be Measured By Anyone!!! And It Will Still Be Great.... Thank You So Much For Sharing...Continue To Be Blessed!! And Encouraged In Abundance.. Flower Girl.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
