After some interaction twixt the lady above..I gained some insight.? Does it
Dim anything i cherish and love.? She's
A real Aussie battler folks..With her head
Screwed on.' And Lord she seeks recompense.' Just while shes going along
Find out more about her, for she will reach
Out.' Do i still think she is ( adorable.?) Yes without a doubt, she is great with her
Vo-cab..Sharp as a tack..Iyah i still back
Ya...Gurl stay on your track, I'm stilll an Aussie from a way back ya see..Maybe i
Was a little blunt.? But that springs from
What I owe, a great land, that made you and me..I know that you'll look in and read
Of my lines..Come back when you are ready gurl, i've got a dirt map and some
Plans designed.'
Mother
*yoruba edition*
'Better lose the saddle than the horse'.
Every mother's voice echo these 7 words
To her child, not just out of love,
Not entirely for love but for joy.
The joy of motherhood.
This life will be hard for you
Omo mi, sugbon yio dara fun e
She assures her young child.
Nitori ti omo ko ba ni ayeye o wa ni owo iya
The pains of motherhood.
A mother is a child's guide through life.
Come, follow me, close your eyes
Think of the rose, and let us go;
She said to her child at birth.
The duty of motherhood.
Iya ni Wura!
A woman who has children, does not die.
She is a mother, in life and beyond.
Her name forever in the hearts of her children
And their children.
Her presence felt through memories when she's gone.
Every child will grow up,
Age and fade off with time.
This life cycle of ours is like a river,
It goes and comes.
But a mother's milk is priceless.
Godwin Henry Osaigbovo Pa Shakespeare

Freely
Acting
Without
Asking
Making decisions for her family
Conferencing with no others who might
I've been held back for far to long,
now it's time that I just move on.
I will try to make it on my own,
right now my future is still unknown.
I live every day in constant fear,
of what lies in store or troubles are near.
I have to be strong and hold my head high,
because so far in life all I want is to die.
It's not going to be easy but just wait and see,
just what I become and who I will be.

She's Strong Willed
as she holds back the tears
What had just happened
was one of her worst fears
She never thought
this day would come
The day she
would have to burry a loved one
Yet she carries herself
as if she's battling the cries
Even though the pain
inside still lies
She pushes it all
down so no one sees
That the hurt
puts her to her knees
She hides it all
behind her smile
Not knowing all
the while
That everyone can see
what is really going on
They know none of her
pain is really gone
She will pretend she
isn't upset at all
Even though the world
around her is beginning to fall
She doesn't want
no one to know how
it makes her feel
In fear of talking
might make the pain real
She is strong willed
but doesn't know
That her pain
really does show
