Umama



Umama

Uyinzwakazi entle ethobekileyo.
Ungumthwali wenzima zobom
Ewe uyindlovu engasindwa ngumboko wayo.
Unentliziyo entle nothando oluluqilima.
Nditsho wena mnt' ongumama.

Uzithwele iinyanga zalithoba
Kweso sibeleko sakho sicocekileyo.
Ubethekile kodwa awaphela mandla
Ungumawa aphinde avuke nzwakazindini.
Ndithetha nawe mama omhle.

Uxhwayekile uxhwayekiswa sisikhomo.
Ziwile iinyembezi ngexesha ubuzithwele
Kaloku le nto ukuzithwala asindlwane iyanetha.
Nje ngoZakewu awaphela mandla.
Sulaqaza mama, ndithetha nawe kanye.

Ubunzima neenkxwaleko ogqitha kuzo zibuhlungu
Ubomi bubalikhala wakuzithwala.
Udinga umntu wokulila naye ngemini zembandezelo
Nangona kunjalo, uyaqina ugcine umntwana wakho.

Inene uyingelosi yomhlaba
Ndikothulela iqhiya mazi yakuthi
Ndithi ngxatsho kuni bafazi bakowethu...
