I Remembered...

IMG_20140615_134618.jpg


I remembered the sweet song we used to sing back in the day
It's hard to leave my head as it carved its place to stay
It's about appreciation for our mothers but in my heart I always pray
Mothers are gods which we need to pray that evil from them to be kept at bay
We sang - who sat and watched my infant head
And she did absolutely everything in this life to give me the lead
Even with the pain and discomfort she felt deep within
But she bore it all, oh she did with a mixture of the pain and joy
She never made me feel like a burden
Even when she halted her life just to attend to my needs and growth
Neither did she make my father feel like she was doing me a favour
She understood her purpose and she didn't shy away from it
She understood the life she was called into as every good mother should
Good mothers don't often blow their own horns
They simply do what they need to do not waiting for appraisal from others
That's why we sing their praises because they hardly do it
And their efforts are so visible for all to see even while we are kept in the womb
She nurtured me right from the womb
Bearing all those movements...tired...dealing with cravings and blowing up
She bore it all and I saw the joy in her eyes at a tender age
With her attention to details as she gently rubs my body and comb my hair
This is a love made from heaven - selfless and undeniable
Mothers are the priceless jewels we seek
I see mothers in you all, yes, I took a peek
Anyone can be a mother but it takes someone special to be called "mummy"



Thank you for your time.

I guess, a good mother reflects on the whole family and just thy said we all want a taste of our mom in our wife.

Mothers are our god after God and I make sure I keep a good relationship with my mother and I tell other to to try that.

Making sure you have a good relationship with your mother is the best. You are right, they reflect on the whole family. A good mother's impact would always be felt on the family. They are drivers, movers and influencers for the home.

Her impact would always be felt. You can't go wrong and not see it. They drive, move...they are enforcers as you have rightly pointed out. Thank you for that.

Your words may seem basic but they are really deep in meaning. I actually resonate with the fact that after God comes our mothers.

And truly, we all need a wife as good — or even better— than a mother.

Mothers are a gift from God, appreciate them while they're still on Earth.

Wonderful verses dedicated to an incomparable being, a treasure that has been given to us from heaven. Never in our life will we have a person who gives himself body and soul for us. Great work.

Thanks for sharing.
Good day.

A gift from heaven indeed! I pray the Heavens bless every good mother out there.

They are just too precious.

That's a fact!

Our mothers are really the only ones willing to go extra mile Because of our cause... They are willing to sacrifice a lot just to get us to our destination even if it warrants them not reaching their own destination..
Such is the gift of movies... Such is how great the love of mothers could be

You couldn't have said it any better especially the sacrifices of motherhood. Mothers are gods. They go through a lot and despite having 5 Mother's Day in the year, I still feel they are not celebrated enough. It's a life to selflessness and they live up to it. God bless our mothers.

Hehehe... You've also noticed they keep celebrating mother's Day as if it never ends but just like you said...I also feel that even when we celebrate them all day long that it will never be enough for the sacrifices they make.

Come to think of just pregnancy for 9months, giving birth and taking care of us till we're old enough and continue taking care of us even when we are married.

Mothers are the MVPs

Mothers never make us feel like a burden in their lives, and for this reason we must treat our children with the same detachment and unconditional love.

Hello @olawalium , how many truths in this poem, without a doubt mothers are the epicenter of our lives, I really liked your poem, so after reading it I will share with you the analysis I made of it.

The poem is a beautiful description of the special relationship between a mother and her child, highlighting the love, care and sacrifice that mothers make for their children. The author emphasizes the important role that mothers play in the lives of their children, from the moment they are in the womb to their adulthood. The poem highlights the importance of valuing the work and unconditional love of mothers, even though their influence in our daily lives is often underestimated. Overall, the poem is a tribute to all mothers and a reminder of their unique and pivotal place in our lives. The author has captured well the feelings of love and gratitude for his own mother and has eloquently conveyed these feelings through the poem.

Thank you for sharing original and quality poetry.

I always try to enjoy and love my mother very much, she is the one who has been with me through thick and thin, she has helped me a lot to be the boy I am today and I will never be able to thank her for everything she has done for my brother and me, may God continue to bless you always ♥

The part where you wrote " that's why we sing their praises because they hardly do it" got me emotional.

Good mothers always do sacrifice their all for their children without minding it's consequence on them. They do not care about their own problems— all these to cater for their kids.

Even when they've passed away, their impact and void can always be felt.

Thank you for this heartfelt piece 💯✨

They simply do what they need to do not waiting for appraisal from others

That's really the first lesson to learn from mothers... At all times, they do things not because they will be praised but because it is their job and they try their best to get their job done.

Mothers are Golden beings.

They make a lot of sacrifices to make sure that we are where we are today and for that I am always grateful to them all... Both my mother and to every mother out there struggling to make ends meet
