Thou My Mother Poem by Olugbenga Ayoola.O

Thou My Mother



Thou my mother
You re the driver of my car
In you palm I cry and I laugh
Your rapper is my urine cleaner
Your bed is my play field
Betwixt your lap I puke
And your water heart I drink

Thro the authority of our maker
Who choose my coming to your side
And guard me from your harmful lion wall
Who save me from red river of my father hut
And make my blood to be bitter for night evil doer

Oh! My mother
Even if my leg deny your side
And your breast deny my tongue
My blood will proclaim your day
Forever I will blow your trumpet of joy.

Very good tribute to ones mother. The contrast of its images with the emotion of the last sentence makes this poem effective and worth remembering. As Yoonoos Peerbocus, a fitting tribute to our primary love.
