My Wonderful Mom Poem by John Sensele

My Wonderful Mom



Mom, thank you for enabling my birth
Despite dangers of gestation
Despite risks and roadblocks to your good health
Above all, I'm beholden to you for your mountain of devotion and attention.

Mom, thank you for teaching me love
The best lessons I learnt from you
When each step, each action, each thought from above
Ensured each day, each moment you taught me a value I never knew.

Mom, thank you for opening doors of opportunity
Despite little money, little meal, little lodge
Despite economic enemy, pecuniary pressure, danger to dignity
Above all, you spared no effort education roadblocks to dislodge.

Mom, thank you for enduring sleepless nights
To fight my influenza, my malaria
Despite lack of medicines, mosquito bites
Above all, you fought the menace of diarrhea in my abdominal area.

Mom, thank you for facilitating my overall development
To pave the way for my cognitive growth
To carve a niche for my emotional envelopment
Above all, you taught me to control wrath.

Mom, thank you for opening my eyes
To the magic of the Bible and the book
To love verities and unravel lies
Above all, you taught to disbelieve a spook and his hook.
