I have been away from home working on my novel, and I have not set my eyes on my mother...but I would be going home soon from India back to Nigeria to see her...


Take Me to Mama

For a year, it has been like dreams
Far away from my mother
Never had a feel of her soup
Never smelled her

I cry deep in the nights
And weep that we are bound together again
As I need her coolly in my arms
I want her, soully in me

I plead that you take me to Mama
She is all that I have
She is the ring that I wear in my finger
She is my joy and everything

Mr.Mist
really sweet of you to write a poem to your mom...
have you let her read it?
maybe i should do something like that for my mom to...after all, i owe her life for giving it to me...
