Momma It's Okay

FOR YEARS I HELD RESENTMENT TOWARDS YOU...
I FELT LIKE YOU NEVER LOVED ME WHEN ALL I EVER DID WAS ADORE YOU...
UP TO THIS VERY DAY I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO RECEIVE LOVE FROM YOU...
I EVEN TRIED TO PROVE MYSELF BY MAKING IT THROUGH EVERY OBSTACLE...
WHAT DID I DO WRONG ?..
WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME, WHEN IT COMES TO POURING OUT MY FEELINGS I CAN GO ON AND ON
AND ON...
FROM BIRTH IT FELT LIKE I HAVE BEEN CAST ASIDE...
WHEN CHRISTMAS CAME YOU TOLD ME I WOULD TAKE CARE OF YOU NEXT TIME...
BUT WHEN CHRISTMAS CAME AGAIN IT NEVER CHANGED...
AM I LIVING A CURSE FROM MY FATHERS NAME ?..
I BECAME A CHILD OF MY ENVIRONMENT TRYING TO OBTAIN THE THINGS THAT I NEEDED...
YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT MY ACTIVITIES AND FROM THE FAMILY I WAS DELETED...
A MOTHER OF A FRIEND TOOK ME IN AND CALLED ME HER OWN...
TOLD ME FROM THIS DAY FORWARD THIS HOUSE IS YOUR HOME...
YES I LOVE HER SHE WAS THERE WHEN YOU WEREN'T...
AT NIGHT I WOULD CREATE A SEA WITH MY TEARS AND GET WASHED AWAY BY THE CURRENT...
EVERYDAY I WOULD PRAY THAT YOU WOULD COME BACK FOR ME...
TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND TELL ME, YOU NEED TO BE WITH YOUR FAMILY...
BUT THAT DAY NEVER CAME...
AND MY SORROW TURNED TI RAGE...
I HATED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART...
EVEN MY FEELINGS TOWARD MY SIBLINGS BECAME DARK...
I PUT MY LIFE IN SITUATIONS TO BE KILLED...
BUT GOD SEEN THE BIGGER PICTURE AND PROTECTED ME WITH HIS SHIELD...
TODAY I AM A NEW MAN AND FROM MY HEART I FORGIVE YOU...
THE TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS I WENT THROUGH HELPED ME TO LOVE YOU...
I WANT TO WORK ON OUR RELATIONSHIP AND TAKE IT DAY BY DAY...
BUT I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING, MOMMA IT'S OKAY...
