Dear Mother: Iyaniwura

“God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers”… Jewish proverb

DEAR MOTHER,
M: for the MILLION things you gave me
O: for I'm OPPORTUNE to be called your son
T: for your TEACHINGS on the true values of life
H: for your HEART of purest gold
E: for your EYES shining with love
R: for you're always RIGHT and will always be

“A mother is she who breastfeeds children with the milk of love, and rejoices at their 
growth”… Ángélì (Angel Simon)
