Mama
Opened to smile,
Mouth wide, a while,
Then heard his cold lie,
Mum, for you I will die,
love you being my final sigh.
Recalling it right,
1990, a night,
In labour, in pain,
In tears, in distrain
At deathbed, along came.
A second born,
A boy, happy I became.
Seconds by, his cry,
Ooh mama! Me whereby?
Minutes by, time fly,
Now grown, hereby nearby.
Mama this, mama that,
Mama please, mama whereat,
Time gone, mama ageing,
Soon come, mama dying.
Hear mine, a moment,
From heart, a testament,
They lie, in search of wealth,
They love, in wait for ya death,
Now go marry,
A girl, a berry,
A lady, like a jetty,
To help carry,
My body, so heavy.
