An Afro-American-Jamaican Haiku Tribute To Mothers

(APROPOS OF THE MANY OF US: THE GREEN VILLAGE)


    PROLOGUE:

    Some don’t quite get it…
    Life will reveal it to you:
    Mothers are of God.

                              A

                 Keeping hope alive…
                 Strong stalwart sable sisters:
                 These are our mothers.

                              B 

	                  Ebony beauty…
                 Sustaining us in all things:
                   God bless our Mothers.

                                  C

          	     Beautiful sable souls…
         	     Audaciously bold in faith:
                     Praise God for Mamas.


                                 D

                  Ploughing up our hope…
                  Tears nourishing our courage:
                  Moms cultivate men.


                              E

                  God’s labouring wombs…
                  Moulding navels of His love:
                  Mothers…God’s angels…


   EPILOGUE:

   Happy Mothers’ Day…
   Queens of our eternity:
   Navel giving souls…
