Yours is written by love only a Mom can reveal
Thanks for engraving such in my heart
Always reminding me of your awesome presence…
Oh, I dearly miss you.
With gratitude, I wear your handwriting
Ceaselessly showing your trademark of care
Keeping me mindful now of my motherly roles…
Oh, I long for your counsel.
Nostalgic, never can I resist the bursting scenes
of your teaching pursuit-tenacity as you made me write the ABC
midst the gripping tenderness of your directive hand...
Oh, I can't forget your unique way of editing my essays...
Mother, thanks for letting me wear your handwriting
manifesting your elegant cursive style
while I carry on the legacy of your compassionate* expression
devoid of artificial intelligence-stain along authentic impartation of lovingkindness.
*Isaiah 49:15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I (God) not forget thee.

Honorable Mention, "Romanticize the Pulse" Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Ink Empress; judged on 5/5/2026
The Benjamin that I know is, like the Biblical
Character, the YOUNGEST of 8 sons. For the last
Year, I have sensed that there is something that
I am supposed to impart to Benjamin. I have not
Concluded what that impartation is, but I will begin
By sharing an acrostic poem bearing his name.

BELIEVERS do not have room for doubt and fear
EVERY door is an opportunity to explore and excel
NEVER say never, but rather, forever say, "I can"
JUSTICE may condemn me, but Christ pardons me
ANTICIPATION explodes within and makes me wait
MANY are called; few are chosen; most refuse
I can do all things through Christ
NOTHING shall be impossible to those who believe

You say that I'm vile from my past, putrid crimes,
and that I'll never change, forever bound to pastimes.
You say that I'm ugly when I look in the mirror,
that people would be pleased if I'd just disappear.
You say I'm unlovely, not worthy to be known,
unable to receive the great grace I've been shown.
My joy has been robbed, and you are the thief,
The Great Deceiver, causing fear and grief.
Faith comes in a gentle whisper, but lies will shout.
Into the all-consuming fire, I cast each doubt.
By the power of the cross, the source of all love,
my sins are washed whiter than the purest dove.
Not by my merit; worthy by impartation,
I can begin again, renewed by salvation.

Our LORD rejoiceth at our heart's invitation
Sunshine above
Filled us with love
Amazing happiness
God's hands of tenderness
Visiting doves
Embraced their love
I Know Some People
Through thick forest they always move
Amidst busy market they always stay
Ever busy streets they always trod
They don’t move alone
But always with a glittering glitter
Every blessed day they feel pleasure
But because of sympathy they are not happy
Even though they ought to be happy
They walk through town and gown
Just because they must impact
Mother of life is what they are
Mother of multitude is what they are
Mother of generations is what they are
Mother of impartation is what they are
They walk through dark and dead because of kids
They kiss mucus so that there kid would not kick bucket
They recollect and correct
So as to rebrand and repack
These people are the ones you kept awake with your cries
They are the ones you denied sleep just because you must snore
They are the mother of handsome kings and pretty queens
light a candle in a steel chamber,
press back the hardened touch.
learn to forgive.
impartation of light and favor to
the the heavy blackened yoke..
i healed some by the wayside
and kept on walking, i moved
along in a single breath.
brightened days lengthen the cords
and renew the sinews between
the nerves and there is healing
when i learn to forget.
old time blessed assurance,
redemption between two stretched
out palms, no safer place to be..
Conforms to the original,
in whose image we are made
Bequeaths holy curiosity;
crystallized in the human consciousness,
spawning the inescapable question:
who am I?
why am I here?
why are things as they are?
A passage to edifying discoveries;
a transport to purpose;
lagrangian to eternity;
the wondrous,
yet incomprehensible zone
awaiting our attainment
Imagination, it is;
the attribute of the creator,
the fount from whence,
humanity and reality sprung
The cradle for human advancement,
the wind beneath our wings;
in the continuous journey,
of discovery — tiny footprints,
on the infinite expanse of time;
silhouette horizons —
sketches of scapes of infinity
Imagination; imparted on us —
instrument to soar above obstacles;
existential challenges,
pedestals to ascension,
in the necessity of trials —
the price for divine profit,
purposefully placed on our way;
the test to ensure our growth and graduation,
in our accent to unity with divinity
