Root of a Sole
Like an eagle you’ve watched me grow,
Forested me with love since I knew how to crawl,
How can I forget the wings that protected me from cold?
Cuddling down my mortal sole,
Warming words of wisdom,
Penetrating my tiny being,
Eyes of a dove that made me strong,
To tackle the poison of this world given to taste,
I stretched by eyes to find you whenever am lost,
My mouth up roaring your name in all tryouts,
Stimulated by the sugary beam that never desert your cheeks,
A bliss the earth can never secrete,
Mommy you spotted my ill attitudes signs in me,
And fashioned my self esteem to appease,
Never to be a victim of this world of pain,
A pearl banked in my heart never to be stolen,
Mother, to you my heart belong
You’re my sole in this life,
Your slogans fill my heart with hope,
Am a blessed branch from your tree,
Without you life will never set me free,
In every breath I’ll pay a huge fee,
It’s like a shoe without a sole,
Or a house without a roof.
