Dear Mother
From my first cry
Your smile and voice
comforting and soothing
I, your son
You, my sun
Blessed with your eternal love
My guardian angel
Through my early and later life
With you i saw
the goodness of God
Kindness from your heart,
always overflowing
Your prayers always protecting
Through you i learned
of God-given qualities
that was embedded in you
You gave me strength
Even in my darkest moments
when life was hard
You broke through
bringing peace to my soul
Making my path in life easier
Even giving me the name ‘Omonogie’
A child destined to be king
Today my tears
Fill the room
But I know
Your soul rests by God’s side
In knowing that
I will remain strong
Carrying your legacy
On, to my children and their offsprings
Though this life
You, I will not see
Your will spirit live on
Shinning brightest in my heart
and in those of others
Mama the mama
Sweetest mother
Until the end of time
Beyond stars and heavens
When we will reunite
Dancing and basking in God’s light
