MOTHERHOOD
#Uwe, Uwem
CIRCLE OF LIFE

She's a special being
The woman Specie
Pride of a home
Whichever man that finds her; finds a good thing
She's humble, caring and has a beautiful character
She's loving and her neighbours praise her She's fun to be with. Full of inspiration
She's a pack of encouragement
Never gets testy.

She goes extra miles for a happy home
Puts family first of all her desires
Wakes up first but sleeps last
She pretends to be fine just to cut short worries
Puts on a smiling face at children’s appearance
Does menial jobs just to support family
Backs children even at discomfort
Takes all the pains and embarrassments
Manages the kitchen but eats a little

She’s the number one teacher to her kids
Plants seeds of greatness in their hearts
Treats and gives medical attention even when she isn’t strong herself
Provides immediate solutions when need arises
Mends every broken part of the home
She’s an adviser and counsellor to her kids Assumes and acts in all positions and capacities
Her strength is awesome
Her prowess is unbelievable
A motivational speaker
Flagging a healthy and happy home

Although she’s got aspirations and ambitions with a promising future
Although she’s got talents too but puts her family first on the ambition list.
Staking everything for her kids

She’s taken for a fool
Deserted by friends
Tagged a failure
But she’s bent on making a dream home
Puts more energy to prove them wrong
Yes! She isn’t perfect
She’s made mistakes which she doesn’t want a repetition.
She tends to coach them with her life experiences.
Soon, her prides gone
Beauty faded
Breast sagged
Face wrinkled
From fair to dark complexion
Life had really dealt with her
She was termed old.
The pains of motherhood found her out.

Years came and went by
She never failed prayers
And it came to pass when her pains turned to joy
The fruits were ripe for harvest
She’s now got different titles attached to her name
Oh! Her heart can’t contain the joy
She’s a successful mother
Young sisters emulate her
She’s finally remembered for something
Her consistency in making a better home Undisputed
Surely the end justifies the means
Enough time to rest
Better food to eat
Vacation every week
Early to bed and late to wake
Everyone praises her.
What a joy for motherhood.
