Mama

A descendent of light, but my enemy
Monitoring everything I did.
Catching me at places I shouldn't be.
Never letting me be free.
I will always admire you for the strength.
You freely gave away yours, when my heart was broken.

Wept, when I cried.
Brought salvaion, at the verge of punishment.
Stood by when everyone turned back.
Believed in me, even when I doubted the very reason of my existence.

You always had the words that get back on focus.
A wonder woman of all-time.
To me, loving you is food to my soul.

Disrespected you in so many ways,
Brought shame and disgrace upon you,
Rebelled against your countenance.

How did you stand all this?
What are you made of?
Are these elements of immortality I see in you?
Are you the creator in human form?

Extra clothes, in case I messed up.
Never thought you will be the friend I never had.
Thank you for enduring the unbearing pain, caused upon entering this world.

No one alive, or to exist can level up with you.
The wee wee, poo poo, and the vomits.
You cry your heart out,
To whom, I ask?
To the heavens, for provision.

In your womb;
The best meal was served.
The world tried all they could to make me kick, but it was your tickle, that performed the trick.
The touch of you, cuddled my wandering soul.

Only you knew how these were possible.
Painful as the bites were, willingly did your soft, succulent breast fed me.
Who, amongst creation can stand with you , but God.
Do you ever know hard days?

I know you are human but these, my feeble mind miss.
I am nothing without you mum.
No wonder pop behaved the way he did.
To him, you wanted me for yourself.

Will I ever find a woman like you?
Can generations to come say same about her?
A woman like you, I pray for.

I love you to the length and breadth of my spirit.
You are the driving force behind my life.
There is no way I can ever pay you back.
I am sentenced to the pen to write my avowal.
I love you mama.
