Dear Mother

(Dedicated to Oluyemisi Janet Akinwande) God empowered you mother to be a channel Through which I found my way from heaven to earth What a great privilege to come to the world through you What a great privilege to come through your world oh mother, I’m most grateful You passionately took care of me from cradle unto maturity Your love for me as an adult gave me Hindsight to your immeasurable And unconditional care for me as a child I’m most grateful Even after the call of father to the place of rest You did everything decently possible, leaving the state of convenience for the city of hardship for me to have a paradise of life Many sleepless nights, laboring to make me a responsible figure in the society I’m highly grateful Hmmm! I declare with a loud voice and humble heart, by the anointing upon my life Your world shall be established as long as Christ tarries You shall be a great example of honor of motherhood You will live to see the fruitfulness of your fruits in wealth and good health Your heart shall be made glad and joyous Women shall call you blessed and young ladies shall come to learn from you Foreigners shall say of you, what a blessed mother Dear Mother © 2007
