My Mother Poem by Nametso Degratia Mooketsi

At the thought of you tears of joy begin to flow,
From the depth of my inner soul is where they seem to be generated,
For words may not be enough to tell you how much you really mean to me,
But of all the things my heart proclaims it's love for you,

As I ponder the love that I saw in your eyes,
A godly love given without compromise,
I recall many times you stood by my side,
And prodded me on with great vigor and pride,
Your voice ever confident, firm and fair,
Always speaking with patience and care,

It's true a few others provided insight,
Yet you laid a foundation that kept me upright,
You are the greatest of heroes to have lived on earth,


Although you are not royal by statue of birth,
You are the kind of hero with great dignity, go our and strength.
Your grades are noble and of admirable length,
You are far greater than all other heroes I know,
That's why we love you...
I don't want to wait for any birthday or Mother's Day to show you how much I appreciate you, but on a random day like this I just want to acknowledge your presence in my life and say that I love you!
