Sweet Mother
SWEET MOTHER
I stood by the window
As I watched the sunrise
Waiting for you to come home
For we all miss you
I find it difficult in my heart
To holdback, the tears shed a fortnight
I still feel your love afresh in my heart
It conserves me when the night is dark
I long to behold you, to clasp your hand
Walk with you every Sunday to church
Also the times we both went to the market
Oh, how I miss the sweet savor of your smile
I can not measure sacrificed made for the family
You always have the best intentions for me
I am sorry for my selfish attitude
Not getting used to a world without you
The significance of a loving mother
Is priceless, invariably at its face value
Wish I can turn back the hands of time
Show you how much you have impacted
My whole life wetin a short while
I have grown to be an upright man
Kept your words close to my heart
To live the right life
