Mother

Mother *yoruba edition* 'Better lose the saddle than the horse'. Every mother's voice echo these 7 words To her child, not just out of love, Not entirely for love but for joy. The joy of motherhood. This life will be hard for you Omo mi, sugbon yio dara fun e She assures her young child. Nitori ti omo ko ba ni ayeye o wa ni owo iya The pains of motherhood. A mother is a child's guide through life. Come, follow me, close your eyes Think of the rose, and let us go; She said to her child at birth. The duty of motherhood. Iya ni Wura! A woman who has children, does not die. She is a mother, in life and beyond. Her name forever in the hearts of her children And their children. Her presence felt through memories when she's gone. Every child will grow up, Age and fade off with time. This life cycle of ours is like a river, It goes and comes. But a mother's milk is priceless.
