A tribute to my two mothers

I am alive because of my two mothers.

One bore me and the other made me who I am.

One helped me learn to walk but the other enabled me to stand on my feet.

One taught me to speak, the other ensured Freedom of Speech.

One ensured food, clothing and a roof over my head,

the other ensured freedom, security and the opportunity to use my head.

And every time she calls, I shall hear and I shall heed,

For she sings to me in my hour of need.

-To my Mother and my Motherland
