Dear Mother

DEAR MOTHER Proverbs 1 verse 8 tells me ‘My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother’ For as long as I live I will remember Remember how you taught me I remember what you warned me Remember the advice But mostly the warm tenderly hug Sometimes I would feel like hating you Feel like you are you are in my way How you do not understand what I am trying to do How not so updated you are, whenever you refuse But later on it changes And then sometimes you will be like So fierce towards me a fear So harsh I can’t harden You become roarous like a lion How I wanted to run away, But later on… I would realize You care for me so much That you were also where I am you know the danger And that I didn’t choose you, I am a gift to you And that you were given to me by God And you hear the voice from above Every night when I sleep I will recall The voice of my mother Wishing me the best in life Reminding me not to forget who I am Blessing me Every time I would feel the warmth of your heart See the smile on your face How proud you are to be my mother Every time you would say I love you son I love you mother Good morning mum… a poem dedicated to my mother, from your son Neo 'SpacePoet' Masetlane
