My Little One Poem by Oluwanisola Oguntuase

The sky is pale blue tonight
The stars look like an anova
The thought of you colours my hope
My skills sharpen with your thought

Oh my little one
How must you sleep tonight
Mother has gone to the shores
To bring tales that brings you rest

My feet hurts tonight
My back breaks from beneath
My eyes are pale with fusion of pain
My heart aches for you little one

Mother will soon be back
Mother wants you to have
Mother is coming to watch you grow
Mother went to bring you smile.

Dedicated to all hard working mothers who selflessly gave their pennies.
