THE MOTHER
From a seed not seen
The fevers begin, yet a secret
From a seed not seen, the bulge gives her away
She is happy, but her happiness comes with mixed feelings
She is thankful, but her grateful heart tells her she must wear strength as her garment and grace as her shoes
Then the mind battle begins, the uncertainties set in
Am I still beautiful? She whispers
You are beautiful
Beautiful to behold
The one who carries LIFE inside of her is indeed beautiful
For through her generations are sustained
Through her kingdoms arise
Am I still the centre of his world?
You will become the centre of another's world
The centre around which worlds would grow
The centre around which destinies are carved
And so the seed now transformed through time comes urgently urgently urgently knocking at her gate
But for a moment her dignity is taken
Dignity she no longer holds on to
The shame of nakedness no longer matters...
For The one who would call her mother is HERE!
And so it was recorded that The Mother was born on the same day The Child is given
In a split second her life changed forever
Although scarred , she must call them beautiful
Beautiful scars she sings , scars standing as a witness that she fought and laid her life down for another to come into existence
Although months after, pain stretching and testing her patience remains
she must call it sweet pain
Pain of what would set her apart
Pain she must bear in quietness and trust
The numerous sleepless nights
When she is left alone to nurture
When she longs for help but help although present is asleep
When even her struggle to stay sane goes unseen
And yet she must awaken early in the morning and still be a source of hope
Only this mother understands the tears she must shed in her fight to see balance in her home
Her definition of luxury changes
Sickness becomes a luxury she cannot afford
In sickness she cannot find rest
For the one who calls her mother knows only that safety, warmth, love, care, protection and other needs are met in her arms.
Mother cannot be sick
Mother must smile always irrespective of any injustice she goes through yet the eyes never lie for they are windows, you only need to look closely
Mother must come out radiant even when all she wants is to be left alone to rest
Mother must look good acting as a beautiful cover for her home
Mother must curtail her fears even when all screams inside of her
Weakness is another luxury she cannot afford
Mother must stay strong
Her focus changes without her even noticing
Her needs are no longer as important to her as before that
It would take God to show HER MAN that this is the time for him to sow in her the seed of true love and affection
It would take God to show HER MAN that this is the time to give himself up for her as she has given herself up for the one who would sustain HIS name.
Yet where HER MAN refuses to see, mother continues and gives all in her ....and when the reservoirs in her are close to empty because replenishment isn't received as at when due , her creator steps in to remind her that she carries within her the ability to reproduce anything she desires. And so mother draws from the very little within her and continues to pour out to the one who calls
her mother, and as she does more grace, wisdom, strength, and patience Is given unto her. No wonder in spite of everything, mother must bears all things..
she suddenly must become a doctor and a nurse, although not trained as one her intuition becomes the critical source of every diagnosis
She diagnoses a cry to be one of hunger and she feeds
A cry of discomfort and she soothes
A cry for attention and she cuddles
She suddenly must become a lawyer and a judge, an arbiter of justice
A pastor and a preacher for her words resound even deeper into the spirit than any other
A teacher and a disciplinarian that the one who calls her mother strays not and become a thorn in the flesh
ignorance is another bliss she can not afford
For mother must know it all...
Oh don't you dare misrepresent her
Don't you dare disrespect her
Oh don't you dare cause her pain, hurt or scorn her
For the giver of life can also take life
For The giver of life has within her the power to build and to destroy
Give unto every mother her dues
And so today with all the life within me, I celebrate a mother,
I celebrate your mother,
I celebrate my mother
I celebrate 'the mother'
I celebrate myself.

A POEM IN HONOUR OF MY SECOND MUM ON HER BIRTHDAY
MAMA...
The eloquence of your speech shows you are not common
The ease of your smile, so endearing
The carriage of your walk exudes grace and courage
The touch of a lasting woman from the foundations of the earth goes beyond her ability to affect only her immediate family instead her subtle touch is felt in many homes even without her physical presence. A woman like you must be given credit for standing by a man like papa and your lovely children, for your touch has been felt and will continue to be felt in many homes and generations to come through them.
God knew you would understand the importance of presenting a well baked cake that he himself spent a lot of time baking you in the oven so you could turn out as dark and beautiful as ebony... As sweet as a freshly baked chocolate cake.
And so how do I describe you? Have you seen a woman stand so tall amongst others even though she really is about 5 feet and a bit? Like the former Mercedes benz slogan goes 'unlike any other' Mama its easy to say in so many ways that when you stand amongst women you are 'unlike any other' so I am not surprised that you now own a mercedes benz and in some ways I am sure the giver is simply saying with due respect if I may ... COMFORT JUMAI ADESOYE 'unlike any other'
How is it possible that a woman can still look so good and pleasant after several late nights of hard work just as the proverbial noble woman is described in the scriptures? For indeed your lamp stays up till late just so you can put a smile on people' s faces in the morning. Your value is by far more than rubies.
How do I describe you? Well for one you are terrifying which isn't a bad thing I beg to differ because even your father in heaven sees you as a terror to the kingdom of darkness. The kingdom of darkness trembles before your very feet.
Again how do I describe you? 'Diamonds are forever' says one of the theme songs for the popular 007 movie. Several jewellers remain in the market of diamonds far and wide but if I were to decide what cut you would be I would say you are a swarovski cut diamond... Precise ! Distinct ! Perfection!
They say roses are red violets are blue
I say roses are you for your fragrance is ever so fresh. Roses are not without its thorns, your thorns do prick ever so gently.
Sometimes I feel the little red dot at the tip of your tongue is like your thorn that pricked you as a warning to many for if a woman like you is hurt and treated without respect, your spoken words would be backed by heaven itself because of how precious you are however dangerous the words may be. So the pricked tongue is a reminder to us all that your words carry so much power...
Purple must be your favourite colour. Royalty is who you are. It is unquestionable. The pricked tongue says it all.
who says you can't be a woman of 3 and still remain classy and stylish. Your every outfit portrays you as a strong woman. I wonder who does your shopping?
They say a woman builds her home with her hands. Take a look at yours for you have built a home enviable by many.
In this hot and humid weather, a dog is no longer man's best friend instead clean cool water simply because of its rejuvenating nature especially when dehydration sets in.
You are similar to this clean cool water... So refreshing that papa would have to drink a lot of you to keep himself rejuvenated.
It's your birthday, how old are you again? Age is but a number, but if age were equivalent to wisdom then I would say happy 57th birthday Mama and if looks were equivalent to age then I would say happy 35th birthday Mama
I celebrate you with these few words and I hope they have kissed your delicate skin and made you feel warm because you truly are an exceptional woman to behold
Happy birthday Mama from a daughter who adores you!
