SHE IS A WARRIOR

SHE IS A WARRIOR
KANYOOR
"Babe you're so pretty and I would like you to move in with me. I'll take care of you always"
Those were his words decades ago
When I was still living with my parents
It's now 13years since the 'moving together' happened
The shit taking care of remained a history
Tears on the pillow now filled even the sheets at times
The struggle to cover the nakedness of her family was her priority
These kids needed a role model
Seeing the lazy comfortable man, she took both the titles of being the husband and wife.
The breadwinner she became.
The husband she counted among her children too
As the children gazed at her to provide the house chores gave her no alternative.
This was her job this was her
This was what being a mother of the land entails
Being strong to these kids was painful but she had to.
She could complain all she wants but a legend she'll be in latter days.
A warrior for them
A warrior for her mother land.

MASTEL
Yes, a warrior she will turn to be
And for your information, a legendary warrior coz
Thou she walks bare, her shoes you cant fit
She is more than perfect coz when her man turned
To be irresponsible she tried to fit in his shoes and
Do you know what…she fitted perfectly
When Shaggy sang THE STRENGTH OF A WOMAN
Am double sure it was dedicated to her coz
Taking care of her kids and sticking to the marriage vows
Is an achievement not even meme lord cant turn into joke.

Mothers day hers should came twice a week
Coz she has never proven weak
She never lifts weights but she carries her family everywhere
Despite being the sole breadwinner she also ensure the bread
Got zesta when blue band she can’t afford
She is the true definition of a woman
And if she were poetry she would be a perfect piece
