Motherhood Travails Poem by Kolade Seun

A sweet tongue is needed to express this sensation.
If I am going to be that tongue,
I need to be quite candid,
in my expression...

Today, a rare gem was sent by the creator some epochs ago...
Through this vicissitude of life,
she has taken a step by another and another for another.
she has maneuvered through life circle, and conquered.

Even as a mother,
she has seen it all,
yes, it has been cloudy for her,
yet she remains strong...

Woe betide whoever says she isnt a woman...
O ye, watch her..
Fighting fierce fiendish filial nature of little devil teenage spirit in her offspring...

When the time comes for her to move out of her cloudy sky,
The prayer is that she will not march into the cold sun...
And when the time comes for her to traverse in the land of the joys of motherhood,
May she not experience a slow movement that will stall her movement into the 'hood...
