Momma Didn'T Tell Me Poem by Otieno Okull

Momma Never Told Me

They never told me of the painful but sweet feeling

tearful yet funny, mystery like yet so evident

They never told me i would cry with a smile, laugh with

a sore in my heart, feel joyfull but relinquished

They never told me i would stare but not see,

not forgive but forget; be blinded but oblivious of it

They never said i would see in darkness and trace my heart's path

I hold it not against them though, i wont tell either

for love is a disease of the soul.
