MY MOTHER

African poem By Nwachukwu Victor 



In darkness of the empty Night
Afraid and shaking because there’s no light 
There I sat upon the edges of the height 
Deep in the shadows I saw a knight 
Brave,Beautiful with the courage and Might 
For my sake she is ready to Fight 
She took out her sword 
And without a word 
I knew she was the Hero of my world 
When I’m hurt with tears, she becomes a lioness 
And my offenders, she throws into the wilderness 
She carries me in her arms 
Where I know that There’s no harm 
For she protect me with her she’ll
With Her, I die well
