I was taught
To carefully check my thought
Anytime i find what cannot be bought.
But anytime I reflect on my faith
I knew i have a strong mother from the multiple few,
mom is a long awaited miracle
The priceless gem sitting on a pinnacle.
She clothed me in her arms like an attire
She is a true definition of a strong woman,
See made me believe I can build,
my world around her without dad,
Once and in eternity with all sincerity,
Coming back from school seeing mom in tears was something that sets me apart,
Scared was in fear,
Couldn’t understand the affair,
Stood at a corner right over here and there,
Mum was crying but I just stood there,
Then the tears began to roll from my face,
I cried so hard because I lost my pace,
And mom came to my chased,
I was too young to understand,
The pace and why it happened to my race,
I then ask my self Wasn’t God aware of our case,
Why the pain,the snare and the Agony,
Why does it have to be this way,
Everyday even after I pary to God ,
Does it means we were going astray,
As I spoke mum cried as she heard all I said,
This feelings were those in my head,
Hate seeing mum like this,
Why’s God so quiet this feels like a living heal ,
Wish I could question the wise,
then I wipe mom why’s life so hard,
I wish I never lost my dad,
Broken means nothing,
Though it’s heavy to understand,
The sound of the wind in the desert,
I may easily lost control,
And when I am lost,
I will be no where to be found,
When time rings,
I Believe in the past to live in the present,
I Hold up not to fight in the dark,
For tough feelings worth a lifetime,
I taught not to be deceived for nothing,
For the broken heart Is an experienced one,
So never play with the series,
For these are my memories,
If you can’t mend a glass,
It can be transform to its best kind,
Some bonds are not meant to be glued,
They are, to set my life for the best version of my self,
I will forever remain the same,
Forever cherish Your motherly advice,
moments and the way you talk,
I love the way you adored from your hands,
I love the way you care
Each and everyone,
the way you live without doubts,
I love the way you always find
solutions to all problems,
Stirring forgotten memories
Evoking thoughts and dreams
Spanning the passage of time
When the sun leapt across the sky
Then a moon appeared
With a smile behind
the flimsy shadow of a cloud
Upon a rainless night,
Unraveling my emotions,
I have got a mother difficult to define with words,
Before I was carried into space
In pursuit of light,
Mom gave me hope it’s possible for me,
In mind and out of control,
As a wing in light and joy and success,
mom you are a true pillar of light in my life,
With your effervescent smiles,
So priceless which can’t be bought with money,
Stares coldly back at me,
You are always there,
Cheery, Brandishing my life with a vigour of hope,
Herewith, I say
I have a strong woman as my mother,
Guarding and guiding me
Amidst furrowing frowns
To avail me with a smile,
Everyday I shared a word with mom,
Tears of pains have been her consolation since dad was laid to rest,
for she has embraced everything that has come over the time is good faith,
Darkness for her has become a beauty to behold,
and she is consumed in it,
since it has become her comfort zone.
she hides from light,
for light brings her nothing but pains,
it makes her vulnerable and brings out the scars she tries so desperately to hide,
scars brings back memories,
memories that comes with tortures and torments,
She screams in anguish hoping to find relief,
I will make it to you mom,
You deserved happiness till the end of time.
I remain your poet,
Abie Rachel ogoh Nyassi.
