I am antsy, i cannot keep still. Today happens to be my mother's birthday. A woman that has kept me even when she can easily flush me away. I remember those days when she would come to my school toting with food stuffs just to check on me and to make sure that i have everything in abundance. She suffered for me. She has always cared for me. She loves me even when i go astray from the precepts she has laid down for us to follow. She cuddles and gently speaks to me. There is no money to throw a short party because i am broke but i know that the future is great and i will make you happy. I will build a new house for you;buy a new car, take you over land, sea and air because you are beautiful and gracious. I love you mom because this is what i can afford you now. I will be great. I will take care of you mom. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAAMI
A trumpet of praises sufficeth not;
An orchestra of encomium will still pale.
Thinking of the experiences of her selflessness;
Greatly appreciated; I owe you my being
Subjected to nine-month seemingly never-ending pain;
Despite the freedom to flush the foetus;
Yet…pressing on with vigour and uncertain hope;
But holding on to the slight hoping rope.
She scrimps and saves for the progeny’s exigency;
Demands that crave instantaneous urgency…
Thinking less of self; and excess of progeny;
Denying the pain of the present, for not too far-off posterity.
I pine and hope for her beautiful qualities;
Replicated in an incarnated lover;
Living with mild grace; integrity achieved stately;
I found, a wonderful mummy it has been.
Longevity we crave; God will give;
I appreciate overtime…never to depreciate, my promise.
hovering your name into different places; but engraved on my mind…
Etched on my intellect; propagated with pride.
Thank you for stopping by.
