Motherhood

                                                    

To all mothers far and near

aspiring and….. in care

I hope you lend a listening ear

To…these words, these adjectives… this emotive flare

which cannot begin to express your love… unconditional

Even as I’m here I ask your permission to share

my immature understanding of your love and devotion

Your love is like: the breeze, untainted….. abundant, and all encompassing

Like a stream: ever flowing and soothing to every organism on earth

you birth a testimony

From the orphan to the handicap

From the abandoned to the homeless

From the hopeless to the fearless

It matters when you speak a word to calm our fears

It matters when you hold our hands and dry our tears

Even matters when you clean our room and box our ears

But even as a child my immaturity didn’t lend the reason you defend my childhood,

my womanhood……and yes, my motherhood

And for those men: manhood and fatherhood

You are a Queen…and from your wisdom we can face the struggles, we can the fight the fight, we can embrace the victory!

You give your all still when we fall

With those words you scold “you mould your destiny!”

To those women who lost

For it was Mary who cried and led the days in misery

As her son JESUS CHRIST paid the cost at Calvary…

your strength remains a mystery

because even after death

She cured…his body

To those women who heal because of healing

You pave the path for strong women in history…

Esther, Mary Magdalene and Niomi

Apostles, Pastors and Ministers

Just know that we need you

From a word to a hug

We bless you

And your words when spoken

Mends…. the broken hearted

and so this is

To…..Those mothers who sacrifice their worth

Fetching the burden of pass regrets and present hurts

We love you!….and if you mess up, God loves you!…. it’s not too late!

To clean up and make up

Dress up and wake up to a life renewed

But so often you are judged and your loved ones don’t care

But God removes the smear…. Of poverty, pride, vanity, calamity,

all strongholds and your future he holds, dearly

To the pinnacle because he knows that you are miracle

To all women with or without

To all women abused and delinquent

To all siblings who are mothers

To those fathers who are mothers

To those mothers who are fathers

i pray that these words

Swell your happiness

And Feed your strength

To keep on!..Keeping on
