My Mom, a Woman Made of Precious Diamond and Pure Gold

Mom, my mother is a woman made of pure gold Perfect ruby and exquisite diamond Whose divine decoration Is extremely beautiful and charming. Mom is the most wonderful woman on this soil The one who warmed my body and soul. She is not the prettiest But she remains the most polite. The one that nourished my body and soul On the first day at the port Of life. She was a girl When she was young and fresh Like a sweet honeydew. Mom is sophisticated Coquette, chic, and imbued with beauty. Mom, I wish you A very happy Haitian Mother's day. Mommy, ma mère My mother, mi madre Mamma mia Manman pam nan. P.S. Haitian Mothers Celebrate twice on the second's Sunday and on the last Sunday in May. Copyright © May 2017, Hebert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
