The Good Mother

I beheld an altar of sacrifice, Where selfless offerings are made, Tears flow like blood, And ambition is pinned like a dart. The good mother offers herself, And seal the blessing upon her children. A definition of a perfect woman Whose humility is beyond this earth. Who is she whose heart is full of care? A selfless mother whose sacrifice can't be requited; The Heart beat of her children, That displeases herself to please others. If every woman could be like her, The world would be a better place. Indeed, She is a goddess That deserves the praise of an empress. Dedicated to Mrs Rosita Nkuiru Ukaegbu
