A Mentor's Inspiration

A Mentor's Inspiration
By: Shyane A. Roa

I stayed in your womb for nine months
You suffered difficulties every second
Your pregnancy stage was misery
But you were able to deliver me cautiously

Now you're raising me as a healthy baby,
Until I turned into a responsible lady.
You never forget to guide me,
In doing the right things every day.

Waking up early was your daily routine,
Just to organize my personal belongings.
Wherever I am, whatever I do,
You've always been with me to ensure my safety.

Mama, you're the master of every task,
Thank you for giving me all that I ask.
I always prayed to God to repay your kindness,
Fortunately, He quickly granted my wishes.


So, when God gave me the chance to pursue a degree,
I seized the opportunity to study diligently.
Because I knew it was your ambition,
That someday I'll be holding my degree in education.

Mama, now I'm standing with pride and honor,
For reaping the fruits of your labor.
I am now a licensed mentor,
Ready to teach the children with love and fervor.
