Her daughter calls her blessed
God gave me life
But you have given me everything else
You poured love from a cup that never ran dry
Because your overflow came from God’s river
You planted Christian values… leading me to find my Creator
You tended to my garden, uprooting weeds
Fertiltising with wisdom
Fortifying with faith
“God never gives us more than we can bear”
“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”
“Let your light so shine before men”
I never needed a school of entrepreneurship
I had you
Always sensing customers needs
And stepping in to fill them
Up at 3am and out of the house by 4, seaside at 5 to get the best catch
Many have envied you for your natural beauty
Many have been jealous of your charm
You possess the gift of giving, freely receiving
With work ethic I still cannot find in another
You taught me leadership
That customer service is simply
loving your neighbor as yourself
You showed me ow to treat people with respect and dignity
A friend to the destitute and to the elite
“Manners take you through the world.”
You showed me the power of silence
And imparted the power of prayer
A love for the psalms
You taught me that love is often sacrificial
And that those who are not willing to sacrifice
Know not love
Greater love hath no man
Than he who lay down his life for a friend
Thank you for laying your life down for me
Not only have you mothered me
You have taught me how to mother
And now as I am a woman
You are my true friend
To the village that ushered me into motherhood

Thanks Mommy for flying to Dubai and spending three months with me, taking care of me while I learnt to take care of my baby. This pic you took of me breastfeeding is my absolute favourite.
Wish you were here. Happy Mother’s Day.
