The Heavy Heart Of A Mother Poem by Qiniso Mogale

A mother sits all alone crying
A mother sits all alone mourning
A mother sits all alone in a pensive mood
A mother sits all alone in a sombre mood
A mother sits all alone in a foul mood
She refuses to be comforted
She is deeply saddened
The heavy heart of a mother.

The mother is depressed
A son has left her deeply disappointed
A daughter has left her deeply demoralized
The son has committed crimes that warrant a jail sentence
Her teenage daughter has been impregnated
The future she envisioned for them utterly destroyed
The future she hoped for them completely shattered
The heavy heart of a mother.

What was a source of joy at birth is
now a source of sorrow
What was a beacon of hope is now
a source of pain and sorrow
What was her source of pride
is now a source of shame
She did all she could to bring them up uprightly
She did all she could to show them to the
right path
But they chose the wrong path
They chose satan instead of Christ
The heavy heart of a mother.
