DAY 14...14/30-CuzMameSay.

Obedient boy
Mama's third Emir
Professed loyalty to her since the day you left her womb
Only to meet her eyes
Resembleming that of your own.
The same eyes that would forever guide you on your path of life.
Your answer to life was always "CuzMameSay"

Age 3
You would never move from the spot that mama left you in.
Never easily persuaded like your older brothers.
Even when they tried to bribe you with food
You would simply say "No"
And when asked why you would say "CuzMameSay dont move"
Remembering that she would never let you go hungry in this world.

Age 15
When the neighborhood kids tried to get you to smoke a joint
Your mind would race back to image of Mama's disappointed face
And you would simply say "No"
Never asking you why because that meant a little more of weed for them.
But you always answered why to yourself
"CuzMameSay smoking was never allowed in her house"
And real men would never put anything to their lips
That would release a little bit of their soul when they exhaled.

At age 20
Whe teammates tried to convince you that taking steroids would be the only way you would make it to the League.
You simply answered "No"
This time reintroducing the "CuzMameSay" in you.
Believing that all things happen for a reason.

You have never stopped believing in Mommy
And at age 28 she still guides your earthly path.
You are one of the few men that she knows
Still looking up to her
Even as you now
tower over her.
All 6'4 of you is still a mama's boy at heart;
She knows you as her "CuzMameSay" Boy.
