The Journey To Lagos; Parting From Sweetmother Poem by Habeeb Kayode Yahaya

Am going back to lag
Isn't that kind of sad
Leaving my precious mum alone
Venturing into norms at home
Our first night was so awesome
We both read my poems and made some fun
She began to cry remembering the past
My dad and those wonderful times
I began to wonder what it means
Seeing my mum i felt relieved
The best thing i ever dreamt of
Seeing my mum and hearing her words
Before i left she advised me
''my precious son you have to think
The way you walk is so disgusting
continuing like this will be so annoying
Please my dear try to change
For if you do, you'll feel no pain''
Then i signed and took my breath
And my heart was full of regret
I replied to her after hesitating
And my heartbeat was really crying
''my lovely, beautiful, precious queen
my precious mum, my cute Balkees
I'll try to change
I'll extinguish the burning flame
I'll amend the past
Now a mission in my heart
Thank you mum
Thank you Lord
I set for my journey
But not with joyful tidings
I am blaming my heart
Crying so vast
Walking all around
And screaming so loud
Missing my mum
That's why the pains still come.
