Mother Daughter Poems

No father has been seen since birth
The school near the estate didn't teach me a lesson
Relatives other than my mother have lived with me
How could I do anything except what mom did...Read More

Traveling with mom throughout Paris 
was an amazing and rewarding experience, 
As she truly was the highlight 
Of this trip. 

It is only natural that I dedicate 
an entire post to her 
and thank her for being 
my companion and...Read More

I wish for my daughter
The greatest capacity for love.
I wish that she finds strength
Most can only dream of
I hope that she loves
With reckless abandon
Sharing faith and compassion
Always at random
Spreading joy where most needed 
Teaching others how love is seeded 

I...Read More

God of Heaven!
I am here on Earth
To follow a Divine mandate
Of being a loving Mother
I know I have no strength
To this on my own
I pray for your wisdom
So, I can carry this task
Without a fright

As I raise these children 
Please...Read More

Home to Rest
(She said, "I love my room." 
The very happy feeling of being home.)

Today, 
my daughter came home. 
She was not crying this time, 
so my heart is lighter than last. 
She showed me new shirts, 
gathered items from...Read More

Mommy, what are those two doing?
   Why, honey, they're kissing and cooing

Mommy, why don't you kiss and coo with dad?
   Oh, a peck on the cheek's enough to make us glad

Mommy, if that tall boy was...Read More

I love how life in the midst of its wars, its killings, 
its behaviors so thoughtless and vile
will set set aside a moment every now and then
a moment to make us smile.

Little Women is a popular book- 
I had just...Read More

It all started when I was three
You just left me, 
to be free?
That was selfish if you ask me.
How could you just simply flee?
How could you just abandon me?
I can’t just merely be...
Can’t you see?
You broke me!!
I can’t be who...Read More

daughter tends to mum

Poem by Koffi Mtonga

She woke up early that morning, opened the window that had a view of a blue sea, just in time for the rising mellow sunrise.
The fresh cool wind blew gently on her face as she drew the...Read More

After Glow

The pumpkin pie is steaming in the oven, 
just exactly right for the evening dessert. 
A sweet remembrance of all things...
that have happened since the first hello, 
the first hug, the first call, and laugh. 
Until the last goodbye,...Read More

In the darkest hour of the night
During the hardest time of life
When unsure if things will be all right
You should pray!

When your mind lacks peace
And your heart is too broken to beat
When you struggle to stand on your feet
You ought...Read More

Oh yes! For the young girl
Who just landed on Mother Earth!
The one about to turn five with a smile
Or the other one who just turned nine
She is not only mine
My Mother’s, Grandmother’s
Neighbour’s or friend’s daughter
She is like a flower
Very fragile,...Read More

Throughout my life you've cared for me
In oh so many ways.
You were my Florence Nightingale
Way back in childhood days.

And nestled in your cosy lap
I'd readily engage
With captivating stories as
Your voice lit up each page.

Returning home from school each day
I knew...Read More

I gave birth to you
But God gave the earth to you
To live — to explore...Read More

I imagine her pearl-pink clouds crashed into gray and the wind 
grew too stiff, blowing leaves into sparring wars over a dull earth. 
I imagine the sun flashed peculiar rays and slanted in odd directions 
leading her along mossy, twisted...Read More

The sun slowly set,
As we silently walked,
Our minds clearly set,
Upon the task ahead.

No one imagined,
Nobody thought then,
Jane could be dead,
Before we caught the men.

I'm so sorry to leave you dear, hard to say good bye to one so new,
  The nine months and few hours in my arms held, are far as I can go.
  Your fireman guardian angel will protect...Read More

“When You Find Me"



Virgo, when you find me
through your heart turned inside out,
yell the Daughter Yell

Strength in the Mother Power
Leo growl, a fierce smile to you,
turned inside out

Inside the Daughter,
The Mother Key
opens out

FREEDOM KEY

Inside the Mother
The Daughter Key 
opens out

FREEDOM...Read More

Fall Into My Arms


A red rose for my dearest bloom
Your love is true
This I assure you
Your hugs melt my heart
You stand out in the crowd of valentines 
A smile upon your face 
Makes my day worthwhile
Look out your window 
I...Read More

"HOME"



Inside my heart
like a beating 
fleshy molusc

unfurling like 
the darkest 
Blood Red Rose

there in the 
very core 
of Me

sits stoic enthroned 
an etheric Pearl
hidden

like a Key

On it is written
“Daughter”
“Honesty”

Travel with it
in your memory
as you cross your Seas

In your heart is...Read More

Oh the elegance of diamonds 
Soft allure of indulged perfume
A beautiful, ceaseless onslaught 
As it wafts clearly through the room 

I dance blissfully in ball gowns 
If only urban elastics 
Thin pink veil and silk ribbons 
Stepping light, I cast...Read More
