My God Mother

Overwhelmed as mama offers a stare at me. Behind sleepy eyes; I watched. You would lay on the floor, despite my warnings You naughty child. You cant stop snoring like your father she whispered as she watched over me like an angel as I lied on the tiled floor. You obviously Took both our characters my priceless jewel. I opened my eyes As I said to her; There is no me without you MAMA. Those words caressed her skin like the freshness of the breeze after rainfall that she smiled so softly. I fell asleep peacefully filled with stories my mother told me, knowing there is someone guarding me like a god. November 3, 2017.
