“There is nothing as powerful as mother’s love, and nothing as healing as a child’s soul”
By Jolade
Come a little closer mum
Have I told you?
You are one of a kind
The gentleness and kindness of your heart
Yes, that you so generously share
The beauty of your soul
That you so boldly spread
Oh maami! Have I told you?
You are my god on earth.
You are an angel
Always watching over me
You are the one
Who never gave up on me
Always doing what you have to do
My safe harbor
Protecting me from the wind
Oh mama, have I told you?
I thank God you are mine
You are made of strength and mercy
The one that always pulls me through
Your resilience in travails
Your dignity in labour
Your hands that was never idle
Your calmness in the storms
Your gracefulness through it all
Oh mother! Have I told you?
I revere the ground you walk on
The light the keeps shining
The tenderness that keeps tending
The arms that keeps hugging
The heart that keeps loving
The eyes that keeps watching
The ears that keeps listening
The mouth that keeps praying
Oh mummy! Have I told you?
Thank you for everything
So here is to you
The woman that was always there
Still always there
May heavens shine down on you
Keep you here
Forever is not enough for me
To love you
Oh maami! Have I told you?
What would I do without you
