Mama

My angel here on earth, my sugarcane, The one who lifts me high like the aeroplane, The one whose milk nurtured me from infant, If I could give you the world I'd do that in an instant; The one who endures sleepless nights amid my cries, Special one that prepares me "Amala" lofliest than fries. The whom upon whose back I rode as a toddler, I would protect you all times more than a soldier; My angel who starves so I can eat, Who plays all times that I may never suffer defeat. She who carries me in her womb for 9 months, In my heart thy name is written in the boldest fonts; The one who protects me lovingly like a mother hen, "Aduke" who remains the inspiration of my pen. The coaçh behind my poetic creativity, Mama that taught me virtues of generosity.
