My God Mother
Overwhelmed
as mama offers a stare
at me.
Behind sleepy eyes;
I watched.
You would lay on the floor,
despite my warnings
You naughty child.
You cant stop snoring
like your father
she whispered
as she watched over
me like an angel
as I lied on the tiled floor.
You obviously
Took both our characters
my priceless jewel.
I opened my eyes
As I said to her;
There is no me without you
MAMA.
Those words caressed her skin
like the freshness of the breeze
after rainfall that she smiled
so softly.
I fell asleep peacefully
filled with stories
my mother told me,
knowing there is someone
guarding me like a god.
