My Beloved Poem by Elisha Nelly

You are to me the mother cuddling her child
Taking care of all ma needs like a father to a child
Stumbling in my movements you are always there offering your support
This path of righteousness that you lead
I too must follow my beloved
Teach me to love that which you have designed
Pangs of separation from you are unbearable
My yearning for you is that of a school child for home
Wholly I submit to your glory like a child to its mother
Knowing everyday it's going to be ok.
