A POEM FOR MAMA ON HER TENTH ANNIVERSARY

Was nine months ever enough?

Was 45 the best age for you to be gone?

A little young, a little old,

So many unanswered questions,

Your memories linger, you live on,

Your unconditional love, the best I ever got,

Your teachings, the best you instilled,

Ten years and it seems like yesterday,

Your grave still seems fresh, some red soil, some roses,

And a cross to symbolize you ended in Heaven,

Am doing great, I always smile,

Looking at your pictures, with me as your first child,

In humility I rise, in tolerance I live,

So many things I wish you would see, so many things I wish we would do together,

We are all doing fine, greet our sister for us,

You should see us, together at home,

Always wishing you would knock on the door,

To survive the pain of your demise, I died and resurrected three times the worse,

They say am sensitive, simply because I can never let go where my heart belongs,

In your flesh I stayed holed up, in your breath I survived the best nine months of your life.

Am still holding on, still coping with the adversities of this world,

Am stronger than before, I gained weight, I know that makes you smile in Heaven,

I used to be the rope of your jokes, I hanged on it never losing its grasp,

In confusion I seek, the truth about eternity,

I wish we could talk, just for a moment,

To hear your last words, the day that you died,

I remember vividly, you asked of me to cook you a meal whilst in hospital,

I never knew I would feel lifeless the following day, I felt too weak to cook,

My instincts were fighting with reality,

Only to receive a call, the voice on the other side shattering me down,

I broke in tears, never felt like I would ever stand again.

Ten years, a decade seems like yesterday,

A mother’s love, never fades into oblivion,

It’s always the mirage we see before the roads ahead,

Shining brightly, yet respecting the sun, never worried about the moon,

You are always the stars I can never count,

You are always the brightest shadow,

I’ve survived the worst, I was affected the worst,

Simply because I knew you long enough,

In my heart, the walls have your photos plastered all over,

In my life you are the guiding star.

You taught me the power of humanity,

Always loving others more than I love myself,

In moderation I count my blessings,

I desire to be what you ever wanted me to be,
