A Poem For Mama Poem by Angela Bontle Ditumiso

We had more silence
Than talks, I think
But within that silence
There's so much love in it
We could crack it open
Like a nuts
It'll fall out

Sometimes I want to hold your hands
Remind myself of a place
I once belonged
For you were home once
For nine months you were
But when I was age,
I had to move out

Hey mama,
I love you
You are my pillar
One of the things that remain
When all fades away
It's why I fight so hard these days
