Poem
Mama Matron Kudos to you Aunty Nurse thanks a lot But you heard my cry Where you were laid fairly dead And I could hear your voice Where I was making noise You kept asking Where is my baby? All because of me! As if that was not enough Though in pains you laughed, Clapped, sang and danced Even with no drums At your breast on your chest Very close to your heart With every act and art of care You fed me with milk Till I'm filled to the brim You would never eat You could lay me on several places But you carried me at your back And faced all the arrows That life shot at me at childhood All because of me! You touched me As you taught me Your teachings are true And your finger prints Are all over me They can never be forged Or duplicated And anywhere I go They are everywhere on me Thanks for your mother-friendly care. As the sun rises I remember your smiles Racing across the miles All like stars in my sight Not with a bait But weights of love From all heights It becomes brighter I remember your laughs Like the moon brakes forth Send me some smiles Across the miles And they would find me. When the earth quavers You held my hands To help my heart Though you grow old As you advance in age It behooves your body To beseech an abode below Your spirit prepares For the final flight of faith That needs no plane or pay Thus, your motherhood All through my child-adult-hood Forever holds If you had written your names On the pages of my diary It could be lost But you have inscribed it On the plate of my heart It can only take time To be remembered Dedicated to V.A Aderounmu. © Fisayo Aderounmu.2012
