Sweet Mom

It began with a kiss of love graduated to nine months of mixed feelings which ended in hours of horrible pains and regrets. In the sight of your babe came a sincere smile of success. You didn't know how strong you were Mom. No shock absorber could have been better. You stayed strong like a giant Iroko tree in the midst of turbulent winds of life You are my hero mama. You patiently carried on the tedious job of nursing regardless of burdens and pains, Denied yourself comfort to make me happy. Your baby I will always be. Mummy you are sweet, tender and loving. You are indeed a blissful bridge to the paradise I know. Sweet Mom.
