She is on earth
But greater than the earth
She is sweeter than honey
More useful than money
...
Caught in the web of love
I felt like a dove
Trapped in a cage
Exhausting my rage
...
Mother
She is on earth
But greater than the earth
She is sweeter than honey
More useful than money
The brightest light
In the darkest night
She never rests
Until at your best.…
You can fly high
And reach the sky
Or dive low
To the earth‘s core
You can find no creature
Is comparable to her nature.
(Kafanchan, Nigeria,7th June,1987)
