To "Mom"

To “Mom” Written by Philani Nzuzo Hlophe Dhlamini
Presented 25 December 2007


Sacrificing Mother

Past Glories and Numerous defeats,
Through laughter and sorrow,
The times of happiness,
And Shallow disappointment!

Various hardships swim through,
Our Ambitious lives,
Sometimes too huge to overcome,
Too cunning for intelligence!

But there she stands
Stronger than before!
Ever so competent,
With an immortal determination!

Holding Herself high,
Although the piercing wounds,
May demand! And the
Heavily scarred body may protest!

She Keeps her head above,
The turbulent waters,
That are filled with poisonous deceit!
Hope she brings,
And Love she protects,
So dearly with her life!
