Mom Poem by Lawrence s. Makola

I was deposited
In the most trusted bank of this world
Interest accumulated and no stealing
But utmost care was ensured in every heart beat

My bones came out of fluid
Caused a pain that no man can describe
But love kept her strong
And hoping to see this growing
Out with no one helping

Morning after one change I made
I transformed her and she became ugly
Deformed and taken a balloon shape
She didn’t care for expectations was killing
Her inner most woman, she became stronger

My first kick was her surprise
She leapt for joy
Called out the shareholder
Together screamed and gave me the name
The simple of victory (Lawrence)

Time went by, months past
There was an outbreak of water
She was in mixed emotions
Happy and feeling the pain

She didn’t say a word
The moment she spoke
I was too close to lend
My first dive to this world

She wasn’t taken to any hospital
But her sister’s bedroom worked miracles
Out I cried separated with what was my palace
But they were happy I was alive


Like a permanent investment
They waited for returns
That now is more than their expectation
Mom you were wise and strong in keeping me
I love you mom
