My Mother
Sweet mother, I'll never forget u, for the suffering u suffered for me
That's what a musician said
This is what m saying
Oh my mother,
I never knew the kind of gift the creator blessed me with right from creation till now..
Sleepless night n stressful days, so that I may have a place to lay my head
So that I may have a life,
So that I may have a secured future...
U are my doctor, my teacher, my companion, my role model, my joy, my pride, my happiness, my best friend, and so on
U were always there when death sneaked up on u n tried to snatch my soul...
U banged on heavens gate to seek solution from the kingdom of God
U were always there when I had parallel F's in school.. u scolded me, whipped me n here I am standing as a maths prodigy and a poet...
U never gave up on me..
U gave me ur food n went hungry.
When there is no blanket, u wrapped me in ur arms n made me feel warm not minding the harsh cold that whipped ur skin...
U struggled day and night.. under rain and sun.. under strong health and weaknesses.. under broken hearts and curved bones.. under disappointments n depression just to make sure my future is secured..
U are the wisest woman I know
The strongest woman I know
The most enduring woman I know
The best thing that ever happened to me
I love u mom..
Keep living for me...
