My Heroine Poem by Theyuz Banda

In you I put my confidence
Whenever I am weak I lean on you
Close to you I stay to find peace
In times of need, I rush to you
You've been my compass, and a walking stick
You cared, and you still care for me
Your advice kept me away from being a freak
You are my heroine

You cried with me whenever I was crying
In times of laughter, with me you were laughing
In cold times, to you I could rush to feel the warmth
In times of weaknesses, you were my strength
Your passion to have me feel my stomach
While yours has been empty for a long time
Its what makes me feel your sweetness like that of a cake
In the streets now like sunshine I shine

You raised two boys alone
A lot of difficulties you faced
From you I learnt forgiveness and how to become one
Seeing you crying is what disturbed my mind
But learning that learning that you were crying for your children
Is what I could mostly mind
To you cases were brought
Committed by you stubborn boys
But you still could endure through all these

You fetched food for me, with clothes too
To make sure that I learn, you sent me to school
You improved my spiritual life
By forcing me to go to church
To cleverness I went, from being a fool

I appreciate for your love, care, affection
For your protection, guidance and counselling
For helping me endure in times of difficulties
For helping me succeed in a lot of challenges
At last I have to thank you for carrying me for nine months
I love you mum b'coz you deserve my love
Feel my love in your everyday life
As you enjoy the 'mothers' day'
Feel that you are my heroine in this world
Nobody can, and nobody will partake you
Because its what the Almighty God gave you
My mama, my walking stick, my compass, my directory
My map, my everything, my Heroine
