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

If I write any word longer

I will be late to prepare my work

So let me put off

By being grateful

I will love you forever

For only you are my mother
