Sweet Mother

SWEET MOTHER I stood by the window As I watched the sunrise Waiting for you to come home For we all miss you I find it difficult in my heart To holdback, the tears shed a fortnight I still feel your love afresh in my heart It conserves me when the night is dark I long to behold you, to clasp your hand Walk with you every Sunday to church Also the times we both went to the market Oh, how I miss the sweet savor of your smile I can not measure sacrificed made for the family You always have the best intentions for me I am sorry for my selfish attitude Not getting used to a world without you The significance of a loving mother Is priceless, invariably at its face value Wish I can turn back the hands of time Show you how much you have impacted My whole life wetin a short while I have grown to be an upright man Kept your words close to my heart To live the right life All Rights Reserved © Akan Udofia 2021
