Poem For Mama

I wanted to write a song for my mother Then I thought Boyz 2 Men’s "Song for mama” So discouraged I got As confused as I was I then decided to write a letter for my mother Just when I wrote ‘Dear Mother’ Tu Pac's Dear Mama came into mind There my Lord, wasted paper and ink!!!! I then asked my Zulu friend help write a Zulu song We thought of going the line Mama Wami Again Deborah Frasers’ Mama Wami came in mind Not only once, but she did it again as Britney Spears by singing Mzali Wami I never got angry at her, but disappointed in myself. I wanted to write a song that expresses the joy That my mom goes through when she sees me My Zulu friend had something like ‘u mama u ya jabula’ in mind Bother not say it loud, I said For Bra Hugh wrote the same words Tho my friend tried, but was not enough I decided to apologize to mama For I couldn’t write her nothing I took a pen and paper and wrote 'Mama I am sorry' With just four words, Brenda Fassies’ Mama I am sorry came in mind For I can’t write what our eminent legend wrote Not only did she apologize to mama She also said it was too late for mama Ohh Sis Mabbrr, sure your legacy lives on Still as I am struggling to find words for my mom I got so fired up inside As boiling as I was I somehow managed to calm myself down Just the way Jesus calmed the sea As creative as I wanted to be There was no much for me For much words has been used Only the good ones rather I then decided to write a Poem for Mama Ssshhh listen to this.....
