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
