Only twelve months ago, I was born<\/p>\n
I don’t remember much, of course,<\/p>\n
Nothing of the onesies and diapers I’d worn,<\/p>\n
Nothing of my teddy or rocking horse.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All I know is what I was told,<\/p>\n
Like my mother divorced my dad.<\/p>\n
At the time, that was considered bold,<\/p>\n
But I’m sure that it made me very sad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We moved in with my grandparents then,<\/p>\n
Because momma was only sixteen.<\/p>\n
Her church insisted she’d committed a sin,<\/p>\n
If she’d not left him, what might have been?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They made her finish school for her future, you see,<\/p>\n
And her mother, my Mema, became mother to me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
