“I Pray For This Girl
Oh yes! For the young girl
Who just landed on Mother Earth!
The one about to turn five with a smile
Or the other one who just turned nine
She is not only mine
My Mother’s, Grandmother’s
Neighbour’s or friend’s daughter
She is like a flower
Very fragile, yet so gorgeous
An Angel whose wings are invisible
I speak life to this young or older girl
She might not have a say
But expects the world to be a better place
Whether affluent or impoverished
No matter her state of mind
Her background must not determine
How she is treated
She needs to live, she has to thrive!
Lord God Almighty
Sanctify her unique journey
Save her from the claws of the enemy
Shield her against any brutality
Restore her if pain becomes a reality
Embrace her should joy pass swiftly
When emptiness fills her heart severely
May you be her sanctuary!
Dear Father, please give her
The honour to grow without being frightened
Hope whenever she feels forsaken
Contentment even after her heart was broken
Comfort when she is shaken
Courage when malice creeps in
Calm when she needs peace
Strength when she is weak
Freedom to climb on a mountain peak
And wisdom to tackle any season
Guide her steps, keep her from tumbling
My Lord, if she does sometimes stumble
Lift her up, so she can rise and ramble
Grant her power to wisely triumph
On my knees, I plead meekly for this girl
I may have never met her
I may not know her name
I may not be in her shoes
I may not see her cries
Yet, I grasp her plight
Wherever she is
King of Kings
Be with her
Each and every day
I pray for this girl”

“Shine Bright
Take it from me
This life is amazing
You are the one with power
To choose what you desire
Please make the right choice
Do not just make noise
Have a voice
Which people can listen to
Be that special person
Who is known for solutions
And not for causing trouble
You have what it takes
To turn this world around
Let go of any self-doubt
Get out of the mud
Shake off the dust
Work hard, my child
Make sure you shine bright”

“My Beloved Son!
Special appreciation from a wonderful Mother
Look at you all grown up
Kind, but tough
What an honour
To be your Mother
Truly blessed by your aura
You have done me a favour
By being part of my life
I am grateful that you are fine
May you know whose you are
As your loving parent
I make the commitment
To share essential lessons
That can help you excel
In the path that lies ahead
I hope you will understand
How you will get there
With joy, love and care
Please, lend me an ear
Of this, you should hear
Be grounded in the Lord
Pursue His Wisdom
Acknowledge His grace
Seek His ways all your days
So, when hail comes your way
You will not faint, but reign
Stand tall like a tower
Go higher and higher
Please shine brighter
My beloved son”

“A Remarkable Woman
She is so exquisite
Even without make-up on her face
She is very special
Even if she lets others seem important
She is selfless
Even when the selfish surround her
She offers a lot of love
Even so, she needs it often
She has a big heart
Even though she appears small
She lets others belong
But she longs to be appreciated
She adds value
Despite her own worth being undermined
She is attentive
Nonetheless; no one pays attention to her needs
She is patient
No matter how long it takes, she waits
She is giving
While no one could be willing to give
She is forgiving
Much as the worst was done against her
She is trusting
Albeit her trust was broken a countless times
She is wise
In spite of being treated otherwise by some
She works hard
Notwithstanding that she requires to rest
She is helpful
Yet, there is none to lend her a hand
She makes life seem easy
Whilst going through difficult times herself
She stands by others
Although there is no one to stand by her
She chooses to be peaceful
Against being somehow provoked
She is calm
Undeterred by what is not
She is bold
In defiance of tough battles ahead
She shows bravery
Still in the presence of adversity
She is fearless
Though she may seem helpless
She is spirited
Contrary to attempts to bring her down
She is never destroyed
Irrespective of storms she faces sometimes
She keeps moving forward
Granting the hindrances along the way
She does not look down on others
Regardless of some doing so to her
She recognizes those who shielded her on rainy days
Whenever the sun shines upon her
She keeps on running her race
Because she knows for her, grace is abundant
She puts a smile on, always
Since prayer keeps her in the right place
She is an inspiration
A pioneer of transformation
True leader of economic revolution
How the world aspires for such
A remarkable woman!”

“She Is Remarkable
Salute to the woman who knows who she is
And why she is who she is
A powerful being
Once thrown into the deep end of the ocean
But swam her way back to shore
She never stops moving forward
Nothing can ever pull her backwards
Such a brave warrior
Shout out to the superwoman
Determined to change the status quo
Because she feels the need to do so
Just like an eagle
She soars higher and higher
As the wind blows stronger
She does not let anything deter her
From reaching another level in life
Thumbs up to an amazing woman
A great force to be reckoned with
That committed Mother on the street
Who trades from sunrise to sunset
Trying to make ends meet
Oh, she has a heart so big
Being mindful that come snow or sunshine
She has mouths to feed
I revere this gifted woman
Who uses her creativity
To make an impact in society
Despite the uniqueness of her talent
She remains a trendsetter
It could be the potter in whose hands clay becomes magic
The miner who touches gold, before it even gets sold to the markets
Or the strategist who sits in high-level meetings, making sure organisations do not collapse
A special mention to the special woman
Who chooses not to give up
She understands that others look up to her
The smart lady out there, with a clear vision
She makes things happen for her family, community, and the world at large
She deserves a badge of honour
Because she is remarkable!”

“The Things Mommy Taught
Oh, my child!
You are beautiful, without a doubt
Love the person you are
Look in the mirror with a smile
Seek after things that matter
Allow nothing to ruin your good heart
Shun anything wicked for you to hear
Listen, so you too can be heard
Choose to be of good influence
Invest in a better tomorrow
Become no one’s shadow
Learn not to be shallow
Lead so others can follow
Let go of what brings you sorrow
Know where to find joy
Even when I am gone
Remain strong
In the storm, do not get lost
Fix your eyes upon the Lord
Fill your mind with the Word of God
For in it are infinite wells of wisdom
Hold on to His promises
Pursue your purpose
Say a prayer
Make sure you prosper
Each day on this Earth
Remember the things Mommy taught”

“I Should Have Told You
Child, I love you
I wished to be with you longer
But I had to go to a place up yonder
My time on Earth was over
There is something I should tell
I hope you receive it well
Here is a vital fact
Not every parent might share
Please lend me an ear
Learn while you can
I want you to know
That life comes with its highs and lows
Stand for yourself, whether or not it snows
Pray more and fast more
Trust the Lord your God
When storms come your way
Do not doubt your faith
Put on a brave face
Run in the right lane
You shall win the race
Be a good learner
Always be eager
To become an achiever
Keep being a dreamer
Never fear to be a leader
Because you were born to prosper
And that my adorable one
Is what I should have told you”

“My Darling Child
Yesterday, I was a child
Today, I am a Mother
So much like your Grandmother
I realised another life
Was growing inside of me
I had to embrace another being
As part of my daily living
That is how I found my healing
You are my precious gift
My love for you is so deep
When I held you in my arms
I could not help but admire
Such a beautiful Soul
I sang you a song
To express my joy
Of being a parent to you
I knew there was a reason
You were chosen
To journey with me
So, here is my promise
Will be the best Mom I can ever be
I will stand by you forever
And no one can take on

“The Priceless Job of Motherhood
God of Heaven
I am here on Earth
To follow a Divine mandate
Of being a loving Mother
I know I have no strength
To do this on my own

But highly favoured

And bow to Your majestic Name

Thank you, Father
For the priceless job of Motherhood!”

“I Pray For This Girl
Oh yes! For the young girl
Who just landed on Mother Earth!
The one about to turn five with a smile
Or the other one who just turned nine
She is not only mine
My Mother’s, Grandmother’s
Neighbour’s or friend’s daughter
She is like a flower
Very fragile, yet so gorgeous
An Angel whose wings are invisible
I speak life to this young or older girl
She might not have a say
But expects the world to be a better place
Whether affluent or impoverished
No matter her state of mind
Her background must not determine
How she is treated
She needs to live, she has to thrive!
Lord God Almighty
Sanctify her unique journey
Save her from the claws of the enemy
Shield her against any brutality
Restore her if pain becomes a reality
Embrace her should joy pass swiftly
When emptiness fills her heart severely
May you be her sanctuary!
Dear Father, please give her
The honour to grow without being frightened
Hope whenever she feels forsaken
Contentment even after her heart was broken
Comfort when she is shaken
Courage when malice creeps in
Calm when she needs peace
Strength when she is weak
Freedom to climb on a mountain peak
And wisdom to tackle any season
Guide her steps, keep her from tumbling
My Lord, if she does sometimes stumble
Lift her up, so she can rise and ramble
Grant her power to tactfully triumph
On my knees, I plead meekly for this girl
I may have never met her
I may not know her name
I may not be in her shoes
I may not see her cries
Yet, I grasp her plight
Wherever she is
King of Kings
Be with her
Each and every day
I pray for this girl”

“Woman of Virtue
She could be as still as a statue
But unapologetically vibrant
Even in her silence
She exudes confidence
Yet, so humble
She runs her race with courage
Because she has a clear picture
Of where she is going
She knows who she is
And what she really wants
She understands what her worth signifies
Extremely dignified
Many odds she defies
Has influence that no one denies
No matter where she goes, she prospers
She makes life so much better
Never doubts her own power
She whose face shines brighter
Such a paragon of splendour
That recognizes God’s favour
Committed to excellence
Crowned with brilliance
Clothed by abundance
Cloaked in resilience
Conquers through experience
She is someone I look up to
A woman of virtue”

Very fragile, yet so gorgeous
An Angel whose wings are invisible
I speak life to this young or older girl
She might not have a say
But expects the world to be a better place
Whether affluent or impoverished
No matter her state of mind
Her background must not determine
How she is treated
Like others, she needs to live
Indeed, she has to thrive!
Lord God Almighty
Sanctify her unique journey
Save her from the claws of the enemy
Shield her against any brutality
Restore her if pain becomes a reality
Embrace her should joy pass swiftly
When emptiness fills her heart severely
May you be her sanctuary!
Dear Father, please give her
The honour to grow without being frightened
Hope whenever she feels forsaken
Contentment even after her heart was broken
Comfort when she is shaken
Courage when malice creeps in
Calm when she needs peace
Strength when she is weak
Freedom to climb on a mountain peak
And wisdom to tackle any season
Guide her steps, keep her from tumbling
My Lord, if she does sometimes stumble
Lift her up, so she can rise and ramble
Grant her power to wisely triumph
On my knees, I plead meekly for this girl
I may have never met her
I may not know her name
I may not be in her shoes
I may not see her cries
Yet, I grasp her plight
Wherever she is
King of Kings
Be with her
Each and every day
I pray for this girl”

Oh yes! For the young girl
Who just landed on Mother Earth!
The one about to turn five with a smile
Or the other one who just turned nine
She is not only mine
My Mother’s, Grandmother’s
Neighbour’s or friend’s daughter
She is like a flower
Very fragile, yet so gorgeous
An Angel whose wings are invisible

No matter her state of mind

“Grateful For You
A gratitude poem from a Mother to her miracle child
You are a wonderful treasure
My love for you I cannot measure
In you, God gave me an Angel
Through you, I was blessed by the Heavens
An answered prayer of way back
Just when I thought it was over
My precious gift from Above, you showed up!
Filled with your bright smile and loads of fun
You make me so fine
Oh, what a privilege in life!
To be given such a sense of pride
As I call you my child
While you chose to be mine
You are so kind
You bring me hope every time
I could go through heavy tides
With you by my side
I always rise
You help me to make many strides
I cannot drown, not even once
You give me a better chance
To become a daring Mom
I have peace, even in the storm
Because you teach me to stay strong
So glad you came along
And never left me all alone
What an honour to be your Mother!
My perfect match
Such a great catch!
My very best friend
Will you lend me a hand?
To walk beside you on this land
You are all I ever need
And I am so grateful for you”

“I Love You Mama
You ran in the right lane
You knew that you were in a race
You became my happy place
You brightened my face
You kept me in your gentle embrace
You taught me how to live with grace
You became a powerful woman I could emulate
You ought to be celebrated in essence
You are truly a woman of substance
You and brilliance belong to the same sentence
You filled my space with a sweet fragrance
You lit the room with your presence
You raised me with a clear conscience
You gave me profound guidance
Your teachings, I still preserve
Your prayers, I will treasure
Your impact, I shall not forget
Your commitment, I felt
But, I now have to accept that you left
Here is what I want you to know
I love you, Mama!”

“You Have Done Your Best
A token of appreciation for an amazing Mother
I remember our expectations of you
We knew you would take care of us
Yet we forgot you had your needs too
We never thought in our little minds
You could be sad sometimes
Or be happy at other times
You were good at hiding your emotions
Because you were always in motion
Making sure we had provision
Oh, Mother, yours was a great vision
To you, we were the priority
You wanted to see us prosper
To date, we still wonder
How one could be so selfless
That about her own life, she cared less
Through you, we were so blessed
We sometimes look back and are amazed
At how you managed to make things happen
We still do not have the answers
All we know is that you have done your best!”

“If It Were Possible
For a loving Mother
If it were possible
I would write you a letter
Send it to the Heavens
Just so you could read
And realise how much I love you
If it were possible
I would get you flowers
As a token of appreciation
For all the great things you have done for me
And the difference you made in my life
If it were possible
I would sit down next to you
Have a deep conversation
Perhaps to hear your current thoughts
And listen to your guidance again
If it were possible
I would spend time with you
Celebrate your presence
Miss no precious moment
And make sure it counts the most
However, it is not possible
Hence, I have no choice
But to accept that you are gone”

I keep thinking of you out of nowhere
I continue talking about you everywhere
When days go by, when I am anywhere
I wish you would appear from somewhere
Though I know you have gone elsewhere
Your departure left me feeling empty
My heart has been heavy
For I have been lonely
I hold your memories closely
Because you made life a bit cosy
Things are not the same, without you in this world
I miss the moments of prayer we shared
The guidance from your end
Precept upon precept
Losing you is something hard to accept
The silent wishes you had for me
The stories you told about your folks
The wonderful chats we used to have
It is all gone, gone for good
Just like you did
Yet I appreciate
That you have been great
And no one can ever take
Your special place

“A Powerful Woman
Ode to my wonderful Mother
When a powerful woman departs from this world
She leaves behind a great legacy
For real, she rests in eternal peace
Because her entire life was lived not only for herself
But for countless generations to come
When a powerful woman departs from this world
Although her loved ones shed tears
They still look back and appreciate
As they affectionately remember
What she has done for them
When a powerful woman departs from this world
The Mighty hand of God is seen
Through how she ran her race
Under the influence of Divine Grace
Which leads her to the Promised Land
When a powerful woman departs from this world
Her beautiful memories remain
Her wonderful contribution embraced
Her colourful name celebrated
By those whose lives she changed
When a powerful woman departs from this world, no one can dispute that she made her mark”

“The Sacred Place of A Loving Mother
It felt so unreal
The atmosphere surreal
Yet, you had serenity
As you said your final goodbyes
With conviction, you waved at us
Until you gave your last breath
That was the end of you on Earth
Years go by and I realise
I hope to see you one more time
So, I keep looking around
Your departure left in me a gaping wound
That wound sometimes bleeds
No matter how much I try to hide it
I cannot help but long for you Mommy
Your beautiful smile calmed my nerves
Your warm presence gave me calmness
Your gentle kindness changed who I am
Your wealth of wisdom helped me grow
Your staunch support kept me strong
Your sincere sacrifices brought me hope
Your powerful prayers made me a conqueror
If you could hear my voice
I would whisper the words “I love you.”
If you could see my face
You would realise that I miss you
If you could look at me now
You would understand how much I need you
If you could notice my tears
I know you would wipe them there and there
If you could get closer to me
You would give me a hug and say, “It is okay.”
Because right now, I feel it is not Mama!
Deep in my heart, there is a vacuum
A vacuum that no one can ever fill
Every time I am at crossroads
I wonder what you would say or do
Living next to you was a great blessing
You were an amazing parent to me
And you will always be my inspiration
In sadness, I recall how you prayed
In happiness, I recount how you praised the Lord
In the wilderness, I remember how you trusted God
It is still hard to believe you are gone
I will cherish you forever
