You are the first person I ever met, someone who I will never forget.
You held me close, looked out for me the most- you deserve a toast.
You gave me courage and inspired me; you encouraged the person I aspired to be.
You comforted me in my moments of dread, always made sure that I was clothed and fed.
You were so engrossed –you deserve a toast.
You combed and brushed my hair, you put me to bed and taught me prayer.
You were my greatest host- you deserve a toast.
You had so much style, I have not seen you in a while- I really miss your smile.
I thought we would live to see old-age here wherever, as you were one who had it all together.
I had no idea you were going to depart- only to tear my world apart.
Something has held me up- as you went on your way up– to the upper-place without a trace.
I am still running my race; I cannot wait to see your face.
I hope you are finally at peace that faith inside at least gives me some ease.
I always loved you so much, your memory still touches my heart.
I wish I could have given you so much more, you deserve the beauty that God has for you in store.
I do not mean to brag or to boast, but my mother deserves the greatest toast.
Cheers to you, I am forever endeared to you. – latoya lawrence
