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

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
