a decade feels like yesterday
A POEM FOR MAMA ON HER TENTH ANNIVERSARY
Was nine months ever enough?
Was 45 the best age for you to be gone?
A little young, a little old,
So many unanswered questions,
Your memories linger, you live on,
Your unconditional love, the best I ever got,
Your teachings, the best you instilled,
Ten years and it seems like yesterday,
Your grave still seems fresh, some red soil, some roses,
And a cross to symbolize you ended in Heaven,
Am doing great, I always smile,
Looking at your pictures, with me as your first child,
In humility I rise, in tolerance I live,
So many things I wish you would see, so many things I wish we would do together,
We are all doing fine, greet our sister for us,
You should see us, together at home,
Always wishing you would knock on the door,
To survive the pain of your demise, I died and resurrected three times the worse,
They say am sensitive, simply because I can never let go where my heart belongs,
In your flesh I stayed holed up, in your breath I survived the best nine months of your life.
Am still holding on, still coping with
