This one i dedicate to the woman who would have chosen to get rid of me while in her womb but she did not. The woman who carried me for nine months, raised me up,fed me, educated me beat me up thoroughly; IL say it again, beat me up THOROUGHLY! But still walked me down the aisle to the man i love:)
Straight from my heart to yours mother. With all my love despite all
This is for you mommy!
...
I wonder momy, i really wonder
How you have managed to raise six children on your own
Was it easy?
Was it hard for you?
Are there times you've cried?
What of a smile?
I cant really remember the affluent life you remind us of
Especially when you are sad
But the absence of basic needs lingers on my mind at times
The struggle for meals,
The countless days without knowing peace
As the landlord appears
But momy you never gave up!
Even though the small room couldn't love us all
Yet your love comforted us to and fro
I remember the sad nights of leaking roof
And the sad days
of your sick children with flu
But momy you never gave up!
Now flash forward momy,just recently
You and i, hand in hand
Walking down that aisle
As you squeezed my hand so tight
I couldn't face your smiling face
Because i knew with tears you'd break
But one thing I'm glad,
Is momy you never gave up!
You may not be where you want to be now
But because of your perseverance and persistence,i know you will
Your Maker loves you, that i know
And because of you momy,
For sure i will never give up too!
love you mother; Caroline Martha Olenja:)
