My Heart in Three

Azmerae, Amani, Alaysia — my whole heart in three names,

Everything I fought through, you’re the reason that I changed.

I didn’t always have much, but I gave you all of me,

And watching you grow up became the place I learned to breathe.

Y’all made me stronger, even when life felt heavy,

Gave me a purpose when the world wasn’t steady.

And every time I doubt myself or can’t see straight—

I hear your laughter, and I know I’m in the right place.

’Cause you’re my girls, my glory, my sunrise on the hard days,

Every step I take, I’m thinking of you always.

You’re the love that made me softer, the fire that made me brave—

My heart walks around in three bodies, my babies.

You watched me hustle, watched me cry, watched me rise again,

Watched me play both mama and the one who had to stand.

I hope you know your future’s bigger than the pain you’ve seen—

And everything I poured in you was meant to help you dream.

Y’all made me stronger, even when life felt heavy,

Gave me a purpose when the world wasn’t steady.

And every time I doubt myself or can’t see straight—

I hear your laughter, and I know I’m in the right place.

’Cause you’re my girls, my glory, my sunrise on the hard days,

Every step I take, I’m thinking of you always.

You’re the love that made me softer, the fire that made me brave—

My heart walks around in three bodies, my babies.

If I could give you every hope I ever kept inside,

I’d wrap it in your confidence and watch you touch the sky.

And even when you’re grown and far from where you started,

You’ll still be my little girls… you’ll still be my whole heart.

Azmerae, Amani, and my little Lai—

You’re the reason I survived,

My stars that never lose their shine.
