Dear Mama,

I remember when it was too cold for comfort outside

I called you to share my sorrows

You listened patiently and said nothing

The punctuation marks of my story were my endless sobs

And when the sobs turned to loud wailing

You couldn’t help but join me

We shared tears and groaning beyond words over the phone

When the whole world left, you stayed

You saw the best in me

When everyone else could only see the worst in me

In your eyes, I could do no wrong

More than a mother, you were my friend

And when they said I was a mistake

You said God makes no mistake

You told me to ignore the rants

You said it’s just noise from the market

It has no meaning and holds no water

They do not know what my baby mean to me, they do not know what my baby means to God, you said

I remember the story you told me

About the weaver at the loom

Spinning beauty into every twist and turn of the fabric

You said my life is a beautiful tale

It may be tough right now

But definitely will have a happy ending

Then you told me of the unseen hands

Angels, Matriarchs and Patriarchs

Encouraging, urging and cheering me on

Every step of the journey of my life

In your words, I have found solace through the years

Strength to carry me through the darkest nights

There were times when your smile was the only light I could see in the tunnel of life

You told me to keep smiling, and never let life drain the light in my eyes

Happy birthday dear mum

I still remember every word of my childish promises

To buy you a house by the sea

Show you the world and show you off to the world

Gold and Ruby you never demanded of me

You said the best gift I can ever give you is my happiness

Now I am sending you this letter

Written with all the joy I can find in this world

May you live long mama

And when I close my eyes to say amen

I know i’ll always see the big smile across your face

Today, forever and for always

Happy birthday dear mum.
