Mama wasn't perfect

A story a bout a selfless soul.

My mother wasn't perfect..

She may not have been perfect but she was selfless..

Though on the streets, she fed others

Though she was cold, she clothed others

Though she felt lost, she helped others find their way,

Though every one left her, she left no one

Though she shed tears, she told others not to

She may have made mistakes, she may not be christian

But there is not a day that she walks this earth for herself

People may judge her, but she judges no one,

She believes once you have had nothing, there is no reason to judge..

she believes judging leads to destruction..

she believes that if you never find the diamond in the rough,

that means you have never tried..

she believes all people deserve a chance..

Although people never believed she did..

no my mother wasn't perfect..nor is she perfect today..

but her loss has made her wise..

truth is you would be surprised how wise the people that lost everything seem to be.

She is the embodiment of what Christ taught us to be and she is indeed a saint. I don't know her at all but I have a deep admiration for her after reading this. What a wonderful write!
