Oh My Child


Month after month within me
Pain after pain laboured
Wound after wound healed
Cry after cry all nights
Sleep after sleep deprived
Drunk like a hangover felt

Feed after feed all hurts
Feed you must or we both hurt 
Love after love we bond 
Days after days you grow 
Smile after smile I can’t have enough of you
Time after time you will not let go of me

Bath after bath adorned
Tap after tap you clapped
Dap after dap you crawled 
Step after step you walked
Play after play you learned
Hug after hug you yearned

Da after da you began
Ma after ma I yearn
Word after word you spoke 
Song after song we sang
Roll after roll we played 
Walk after walk we left
Mile after mile we went

Year after year you grew 
Term after term you schooled
Break after break we rejoiced
School after school you changed
Friends after friends you made
Tell after tell I hear 

Grown you have dear child 
Away you have to be most times
Learn after learn don’t stop
Kindness upon kindness u must show
Brave you must be out there 
I know I can always count on you

I know we must part some day
Your mother I will always be
My child you will always be
That is our God given stamp 
Make me proud where ever you may be
Pray for me when I am no more.
