Richard Nnoli Poet Epic

Be Humble Like Your Mother

Be humble like your mother 
All I needed was happiness
All I wanted was us to live with love 
I remember when I use to visit you at home 
I saw the happiness in your father
He is always a happy man 
Cos I was not blind to see how your mother
Was so nice and respectful to him
She always attends to his needs 
She never call him out in public 
She covers his low financial level
Cos it was obvious that she earn better 
Yet it was hard to see 
I never see them fight each other 
Despite their old age 
She is always by his side 
What a good woman 


Be humble like your mother 
I was hoping on the saying
Like mother like daughter 
So I wonder to ask 
Why are you different
Please make me be like your father
Tell me all it takes 
I will humbly do them 
You always tell me you love me 
But your actions don't match this words 
I wish you be like your mother 
I wish you can learn from her 
I wish you have her similarities
This will be better than a stranger
So I ask you respectfully please 
Be humble like your mother
