A sun amongst dark stars in the blue sky, A rose in the forest of wild flowers, Her benevolence makes men not to cry, Her tantalizing love falls like showers, Mind and patience taller than many towers. *Dedicated to all good mothers in the world especially my poetry soup friends which include Debbie,Gwendolen,Catie,PD,Carol, Andrea,Joann,Sara,Kim,Mandy,Rhonda,Linda-Marie,Crous, Nette,Cyndi,Susan,Vicky,Anne lise, Gail, Modupe,Leonora,Maria,Constance,Yesha, Joyce,ETC -to mention but a few.

Olusegun...I think I shall cry...when a young man points out the finer attributes of a woman it makes my heart glad. One day when u begin your family, I will return the favor by writing of the GOOD FATHER!!! A holy hug to u, friend. Thinking of u and your family across the way this Christmas season! All smiles here!!
