Happy Mother’s Day To My Mother May I Inherit Half Her Strength

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

w

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.
