Thabang Ngoma Poet Rhyme

She Raises, She Leads

As she bleeds, she heals 
As she pleads, she feels 
As she breastfeeds, she builds
As she hugs, she guides 
As she nags, she teaches
As she nurses, she nurtures
As she cleans, she cares 
As she cooks, she raises

She raises newborns into childhood
She raises daughters into womanhood
She raises sons into manhood
She raises women into motherhood
She raises men into fatherhood
She raises parents into parenthood
She raises sisters into sisterhood
She raises brothers into brotherhood

As she is a rock, she is strong
As she is woman, she is never wrong
As she is mother, she cries 
As she is vulnerable, she protects
As she is peace, she loves
As she is intuitive, she plans
As she is beautiful, she attracts 
As she is powerful, she leads

She leads children into adulthood
She leads adults into grandparenthood
She leads priests into priesthood
She leads bishops into sainthood
She leads angels into godhood
She leads kings into kinghood
She leads neighbours into a neighbourhood
She leads nations into nationhood
