My Mother by Jayeola Baliqis Lolade

My Mother

she is my one in millions
a precious in place of treasures
my heart, soul and body
she is the image of the lady I am
my wonderful friend and soul mate
my mother
my comforter
my beloved
my helper
the courage that lives in me
she raised me with care and kindness
a woman with tender heart
that glows to erase doubt in my heart
she shed a billion tears to save me
and my sibling in danger
the pains you went through
the gain is my beautiful future
if I didn't sleep
she would not sleep
I'm forever indebted to you
Wen I'm in pain
we're in it together
a rare mother with caring heart
mama I will  forever be grateful and faithful to you
the only pain and fear in my heart
is that she is growing old
the only pain in my heart is death-
death which is a storm
that put grief to ship
it's a pest that destroy farmer's labour
someone said picture
can bring back memories
and I asked, if a picture can talk
or do what you are doing for me
I can't use picture to represent you in my life
it can it represents ur image not your memories.
