To My Mother With Love Poem by Adamu Danjuma

You deserve accolades, respects and awards
From your children across all maternity wards
Perplexed, unhappy and hopeless we were
Before you made us happy, gave us hope and care

From all mothers you are an exception
Surely, impossible is to find your addition
Verily, between you and your name there is a correlation
You taught us the rules of grammar and calculation

In every work of Arts your name must appear
For you are the Aesthetic itself, you have no pair
I will apprehend anything that made you scared
I'm a trained warrior, I use to be feared

I am yet to have my Driver's License
But I do have my Poetic License
I use words, phrases and sentences
To educate, motivate and inspire the masses

The planet Mars
Ten billion dollars
Ten luxurious cars
Ten impeccable stars
Aren't enough to reward your patience
Every day you are in my conscience.

Only God suffices to pay you,
May God bless and cherish you!
