Words can’t describe how important mothers are in this world, but from the definition of a poem, “a small piece of writing in which expression of feelings is given intensity” i hope this piece will.
Dear Mama.
Dear Mama,
I hope you are fine and robust.
I’m writing this piece saying thanks,
For the 275 days in your stomach,
And the 700 days in your arms,
Your back being my bed of preference.
All the times I have been foolish,
And the times they were against me,
You always stood by my side.
You are my best teacher,
Cause the life you taught me,
Is the best lesson I’ve ever learned.
How can I forget the three rules back then,
That toilet is for pee and pupu,
Evening was for prayer,
And night was for sleeping.
When I cried, you got headache,
And I used to cry a lot,
Still you valued each tear drop.
You forgave me before I realized am wrong,
And taught me not to repeat mistakes,
No being can take you place.
Dear Mama,
What you did is called sacrifice,
My life and success belong to you.
You were, are and will be,
My one and only favorite,
And I will love you till infinity.
