Mum Poem by Tapiwa Zungunde

Unfading, soulful, bridal love
passionate and always nudging me forward
intently, you always, hope and strive
like a lioness, watching over her cub

Overwhelmed by the powers of the unknown
Your love and prayerful soul, you remain strong
should have returned were I belong
but you are patiently waiting.
A lot, a time you have graced me with your forgiveness

Like my father, i will always be a champion
the unsung hero, the motivator, tactful, honorable
and like you i will always be endeared, prayerful
God fearing, principal led

For you are my hero
As the sun shines, and like the Sun your warmth i still feel
paranoia makes a man helpless
but i hope to embrace you
when I return home
