THE HEROINE IN A DISGUISE

POEM BY; ALICK MUSHEKWA® *THE HEROINE IN DISGUISE* She is so strong not to give up; She works hard just to see you growing up; She can never sleep without seeing you happy Making you happy is her only hobby; Nothing matters to her, if not you; When she says I will beat you! She means love; She never says "enough is enough" She is ever willing to sacrifice her own life just to save your life; which no one can sacrifice not even your own wife She can never be free without hearing from you; which your husband can never do to you! Mom you are a heroine in disguise! You gave me life which no prostitute would dare to do You kept me in your womb for nine months; which no slay queen would dare to do Abortion was a term you never came across in your dictionary of love Abortionist fail to carry their own rode; but you never took me as rode, instead; You survived with me in the scorching sun and in the biting cold She is so strong not to give up; She works hard just to see you growing up; She can never sleep without seeing you happy Making you happy is her only hobby; Nothing matters to her, if not you; When she says I will beat you! She means love; She never says "enough is enough" She is ever willing to sacrifice her own life just to save your life; which no one can sacrifice not even your own wife She can never be free without hearing from you; which your husband can never do to you! Mom you are a heroine in disguise! You are a lovely woman; for your smiles never fades out You are a beautiful mother and your heart is so big that you accommodated my imperfections You are a strong woman; you carried me in your womb for nine months without passing out A teacher filled with patience and coupled with tolerance; you taught me how to separate my lips A doctor with a mind of a true life saver; you are indeed my true saviour Mom; you are a true motivational speaker; you instilled in me all that which I need You gave me courage when the whole world couldn't even give me a spoon of porridge You endless love makes me to wonder even at my old age you still give me a damn! There is no any other journey which can be compared to the one I had in your womb Flying in the amniotic fluid is a flight an aeroplane can never a achieve Swimming in the fluid without getting tired and receive a fresh feeling is what no ocean can give me A beautiful swimming pool; where the sun is a unpredictable dream Your womb was a place where load shedding never existed in the dictionary of your wombtic zesco💡 @Nyasoka production© Copyright reserved® ©2020
