My Father loved my mother dearly
cautiously showing us how to live fearlessly
and the daily livin’
of my mother’s vision
a promised life together, a Family

My brother was my mother’s first Greatest Love
her first taste of being a mother
he was and is a trailblazer
A great but reluctant leader
She always said she re-raised her big brother

My sister was my mother’s Pride
a little Queen with a big fire inside
she would be so proud to see
she raised the woman she wanted to be
A great mother who will fight or die by your side

I was my mother’s Hope, her Little Prince yet to be
despite the hurt, what I learned, changed that, see
Her hoped-for future
Imperfectly sutured
Now, there’s something else I’ve become
I am my mother’s Vengeance
and I am her greatest weapon

“What would my mother say?” Really? Okay…
You obviously don’t know who you’re talking about
She would say, “You run it up, you leave no doubt.”
“You make them remember the day they fucked with, Andrew Steven Bounds.”
“With your shield, or on it, son,”
“you go in it to win it, or you won’t come out”
“Now calm down and show them what you’re about”
Thanks for reminding me what she’d wanna see
So, are we gonna kick ass or chew bubblegum?
‘Cause I’m fresh out of one…
