My Mother Poem by CHIOMA ONYEKABA

A woman of great virtue
wish i could carve you a statue
In all works of life
You'll forever be on my mind.

You starved yourself
To see me through life's stress
And did your best
To make sure i beat the rest.

You gave me something to look up to
Something not all could do but a few;
You made sure i never cried
Even if it meant you starved.

You never let me get hurt
And cried when illness came forth
You made me who i am today
Such a debt i can't repay

I appreciate your care
Love and kindness
And pray your life be void of pain and stress
I pray all you know is care

You are the sweetest
Best and loveliest mother in the world
You are irreplaceable
Forever desirable
Always adorable
Your love is immeasurable
Never limited
Forever uplifted

Forever i'll remain grateful
For being blessed with a mother like you.
i love you my precious mother.
