I Remember

I remember..how dedicated my mother was to teach me how to read and write, I remember how much my sister screamed if she had to get her hair combed that night....I remember my father saying you can be what ever you want to be, I remember saying i will love my family like my mother and father loved me...I remember growing up feeling like i didnt belong, I remember reading Elijah Muhammad and watching Barrack Obama and how they stood strong...I remember my ancestors and what they did for me, i remember when my auntie passed and it brought me down to one knee...I remember my great great grandad giving me two dollars for my birthday,...i remember when I cried my eyes out the day i found he had his last breath...wow I think i just lost my breath because I remember when my daughter was born and she had her first breath.
