A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER

Mother, her love, her commitment and her passion
Originated as a product of the joy she felt at our conception,
A proliferation that caused her, a sense of mixed emotions
Because she knew, she was on the road to fulfill a great mission…
Impossible, as she asks herself, “How can I possibly be able?”
To accomplish such a task
And how can I make a good impact
As her child will be born into a world that’s harsh
And perilous
And it’s quite obvious, to her that this is no easy feat
From her womb to the labour room bittersweet
As she makes preparation for her child to meet
The unknown
Her mind is blown, by this fragile being in her hands
She senses the urgency as responsibility demands
Her to stand up, and
Be a mother
As there can be none other
Than she, who has to be
A guide to this precious gift,
Not willing to miss
A single second in this,
Child’s growth and development
Because she understands that God has spent
A lot of his time
Knitting and weaving this beautiful design
That He wants to use for His purpose
So she is now focused
On forming a bond
Mother to her son
A mother to her baby girl
Ready to hear their concerns
Yet hoping that they’ve learnt
From her life lessons
She no longer questions
She knows how important she is to them
As she raises and nurtures her children
To be honest and decent young men and women
Then and only then
Can she actually feel content
And feel a sense of pride
That’s emanating from her inside
And know that she can safely smile
Because she’s done a good job
So come on people let’s show her the love
And respect she deserves
Let our voices be heard
As we pay our Tribute to Mother
