Onime

She is an encyclopedia
she is a reservoir
she is a resource person
she is a central bank of wisdom.

She has sustained
she has nurtured
she has cared for
she has protected.

I call her my hope
i call her my model
i call her a heavenly gift
i call her a blessing.

She is a queen
a true protector of those she hold dear
a personification of love
she is onime, the woman i call mother.
