strictly for my mum

The tender look you gave me when i was born
is the same i see on your face
you never took me as an expense added to your budget
but as an open door for a new phase
you held me tightly in your arms and the warmth i got
 gave me an assurance that i was home
for this and more i thank God for you mum

Despite the sleepless nights i gave during the nine months
u gave me shelter and for food thumbs up to u
you held my hand when i was crawling
and now that i can walk your hand is even tighter
for this and more i thank God for you mum

am greatful you were my first teacher
and now am a poet
you made me feel wanted co
z with you i can do it
to me you are a treasure and as a poet you are my best piece
for this and more i thank God for you mum
