Motherly Love

Tik tok goes the clock With each set of time Her energetic vibrant being turns frail She who i'll never call by her name In retrospect,she raged Against this decadent diabolical world She raged to give her bairns the best of life, The tenderness of her infinite love In equal measure we give our allegiance Albeit in absence of economic strength We never went to sleep with growling tummies Neither did we walked bare and unstitched And the coldest of the nights went by unperceived Even in her recurrent nostalgia phase I still see her The sailor who weathered the storms for me The soldier who fought my unseen battles The angel that brougt tranquility within in the dead of the night In all eternal divine Through her brisk and lethargic life I hold her in my warm embrace My fourth god My begetter.
