POEM
A letter to Mama Hallo mama, how are you doing? I am writing to tell you That am lucky to have you For only you are my mother Mama, am getting married next week So understand how happy I am Mama I know tears flow down your cheeks For only you are my mother I remember with nostalgia The days I was sick and you cared The days I topped class and you were proud For even then you were my only mother I was lucky as a child You comforted and punished Tenderly and heartily For only you were my mother I am going to leave you Just for a while To create my new home I won’t leave you entirely I won’t forget you forever I won’t abandon you For only you are my mother I hope to start with your lessons I hope to be at peace I hope to cook like you do For only you are my mother My husband beckons with tasks at hand I won’t disappoint for you taught me well I owe my patience and character to you For only you are my mother
