Best Woman Poem by Babatunde Aremu

Best Woman

Rating: 5.0


Do not say I am biase
There was a beautiful woman
She was the best of all women
An epitome of selflessness
My first sighting was hers
In pain, she bore me
The fluid from her body
Was my first food on earth
I knew no one except her
She introduced me to others
My first identity was hers
Her kind words assuaged me
Patiently, I was schooled
She understood my needs
She was villified and bullied
Yet she was unperturbed
Her inner strength
Gave others strength
My life without her
Would have been 'Icabod'
She was my fore-runner
Who sacrificially lived for me
Oh! mother, I miss you
Continue to rest well
From the hard work of life
