In my world there is no better person
I call Mother but my mother.
A woman I was born out of,
Whose love and tenderness I grew an expert.
A lady who fed me patiently until I could feed myself,
And taught me to believe in the only true God.
In my world there is no other woman
I would want to grow into but my mother.
My mentor, my inspiration, my pillar, amai vangu.
Of many battles I fought as a child,
She did not only hold the fishing drive for me,
But she taught me how to hold the fishing drive,
Above all how to draw fine fish and cook a good meal.
From what I love and learn from her,
Is not only the words she speaks to shape me
But her works alone do more to guide my being.
In my world as I say
There is no other woman I would want to grow into
But my beloved, loving mother.
Happy Mother’s Day
