Told Reality
Spoken as it is
Still had the power to make into a reality
The prayers of my mom
Favoured in all her ways
She prayed
The mistakes of my youths will never be fall her.
Life will not throw her anything
The choices she has
Will not be filled with dread
Holding me to her chest
With tears in her eyes
She said.
If there's a God in heaven
Let him hear my cry
This child will never live my faith
She shouted it so loud
That the birds carried it
Till the day it became a reality
They sang it back to us.
And we danced to the tune of it.
We never knew the power in the tongue.
Till my reality became different from my Mother's.
