Mama’s Love Poem by George Alexander Ibeke

Mama’s Love



Oh! Dear mother
Best of friends
Greatest of lovers
The breath with which I live
The light which illuminates my path

The legs with which I walk
The voice with which I speak
The tail with which I drove away
All that threatens my being

Oh! My guardian love
With sonorous voice
You sang my adversities lullabies
And with my
I promise you heaven and earth
Heaven and earth you will get
For you are my God after god

For countless times
You whip my follies
For countless time I cry
For countless time
I became stronger

Oh! Dear mother
Today I am ill
Where are your healing hands?
With you, I know no droop

For so long you have seen me through
Through the test of time
In this wilderness
Man calls earth

Now I have to forge on
As I go
I go with the prayers of your lips
And the thought of your love

Under the sun
You are always on mind
And under the moon
I dream of your kindness
