THE SPIRIT OF A MOTHER

An ode to the spirit of a mother

Never give up, she says, my son

Never say die, she says, my love.

Her love is unconditional

And she's wise to the subtle matters

She'll fight till death to save her own

Break the lion's fangs to reclaim her own

She knows the faults of all her own

And covers great flaws with all her love

She's so bright, she's like a dove

O how much I love her so!

I raise a song to the love of motherhood

That bond that stays without a cord

And bears great pains without a word

That nine months of patience

O, of blessed peace—

Fatherhood, how much you miss out in!

Let her be blessed beyond measure

To live her life without terror

And may God cover all her errors.

Amen

(For my mum and Tosin's mum, and all the beautiful mothers in the world.)

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings I went deep down the ocean depths The primordial power of the earth I felt Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze In high spirits, but my energy spent Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent These answers are worth more per every cent Yet on my strength I can't depend To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response In the thunder, there was no reply But in the g...
