A PHONE CALL TO MY MOTHER



Hello mother
It has been quite a while I told you how much you mean to me.
That is because I have been trying to find the right way and time to do so. I guess the moment is now.
Mother, in no other way than in poetic words filled with ecstasy and immeasurable amount of nostalgia can I appreciate the love you’ve always had for me.
The pain of carrying a complete human being for months. The uneasiness I put you through, having you spend all of your good and bad days in the hospital whilst you could have just hung out with your pals. The only thing that made you antithetical to that foetus buried in that closet was your love and desire to keep me. Mama, never were you too busy to ensure my safe arrival to this earth.

You nursed me like a feeble, young and helpless flower and took all of my thorns until I could stand strong enough. Mama even that, you stood by my side.
Even though you knew I was wrong, you will stand by my side anytime I invited home trouble.

I thorn your heart anytime I was sick and telling you it wasn't enough the pain you already went through containing me inside of you.
On the corridors of the hospitals will you run as if you've never wined and dined with civilization
You shouted and cried advertising every single drop of your tear in public anytime you longed to hear the doctor say ‘your child shall be OK' but instead he says ‘ it is complicated '

Mama, you didn't have much to get yourself a bank account. Around your waist was the one and only cloth on whose edge contained a knot that served as our bread winner.
I might not have had it all like any of my friends but anytime you were near, I felt so secured, appreciated and loved.

Every night i went to bed, you sacrificed your cloth for me just to protect me from the blood thirsty and desperate mob of mosquitoes whilst you fought with discomfort throughout the entire night. Never will I sacrifice you for any other on this earth Mama.

Whenever I was in trouble and my soul was down, you knew what the answer was.
Mother, it is really difficult finding the right diction and literal devices to thank you so I pray that God makes the heavens your humble home after here. I love you mother and forever will I appreciate you.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOTHERS ACROSS THE GLOBE.
