A Priceless Gold.

3 months ago

*Who is it that worth more that gold The one whose love never gets old The being who keeps me warm in the cold Ready to protect so brave and bold.*

*Who is it, that money cannot buy A being so humble with personality so high With a cry, a nation can raise With a smile a battle can die.*

*In a coven was she building a nation For nine months, building with unstop motion Then came the nation, ready to function Searching all around and bringing solution.*

*Oh woman, what have you given to me Something that has tied me on a leech Life. So rare yet very free Why give such a gift Oh Mother.*

I wrote this poem based on a local song we sing in my tribe (Yoruba), the song passes a message to show the value of a mother in a child life. The song is a five line song and it goes like this.

Iya ni wura biye biye (A mother is as precious as an expensive gold)
Ti akole fowo ra (That can't be bought with month)
O loyun mi fo shon mesan (Carried me for Nine month in her belly)
O pon mi fo dun meta a a (Carried me for three years on her back)
Iya ni wura biye biye, Ti akole fowo ra.

Mothers are precious to us and I dedicate this poem to my mother. Grace Fashanu. Thanks for reading.
