Poem
Tribute to my treasure’s hub I’ve learned lot of things from you I observed and listened each moment you spoke Out of your mouth sweet words dripped Like a taste of honey, your sweet words were soothing to my soul Sometimes your sayings stung like a venomous snake You knew when to spit poison to kill deceitful habits in me I am, who I am, because you did not deprive me of discipline Tribute to my treasure’s hub Your wish was to have a meal that you did not buy with your hard earned money I was young and I did not understand the yearning behind your desires As I was growing up my eyes saw and my mind opened up My ears heard of adversities single mothers go through Only then I understood the yearnings behind your desires I took a decision to grant you the yearning of your heart I did not know how but I knew it was possible Leaving home even when you did not want me to You reasoned that I was too young to be away from your watch I knew your love and guidance will remain with me even when I’m away For as long as you are alive. Blemishes from your stinging words swerved me away from dangers Your sweet words gave me peaceful nights after a hard day of work I kept every penny I got just to grant your wishes one day Though you did not understand my mission but you gave me support I remember our last meal as a family You said something that put my heart at ease In my dream, I dreamt of building a castle and have many servants Servants to attend your cravings whenever you feel like eating You said ’Bantwana bami bengingazi ngiyodla ukudla engikakuthenganga, kwami” “I did not know I could have a free meal in my house bought by my kids” Little did I know that you expected less than I imagined To see you smiling while enjoying the sweat of your hard work That night I sneaked in your bedroom to wish you a good night You were asleep as I opened the door It seemed like you felt my presence in the room You smiled in your sleep, I was convinced all you wanted was to see us independent. Tribute to my treasure’s hub
