She Is Your Wife, She Is My Mother. Poem by Mutsawashe Museredza

She is your wife, she is my mother!
You call her sweetie, l call her mama,
beautiful of them all, the kindest, perfect of them
all. No one is like her,
will ever be able to replace her in my life.
She is and will always be the only one in my life,
mother.

She to you is your wife, the only one you have
chosen to be with the rest
of your life. If nature put you asunder,
you can have a replacement wily nily.

She will always be the one only woman to have
carried me in her belly, for nine months who knew the pain of carrying a child like me.
She is your wife she is my mother.
