Mama I tried to call you yesternight
With much expectations to hear your sweet voice
It all cracked and ended in tears
That left me crawling and wailing on the floor
Telling me to leave a voice mail
That am much sure you can't even listen to.
I send a series of messages to you Mummy
None of them got delivered
But I hope one day you'll receive them
Though you're not able to read
How will my messages reach you Mama
How will I access your feedback
How will I appreciate you Mama?
After a decade has successfully gone
Swiping your life to the ancestors
Leaving only your memories in my heart
With nowhere else to go
Being a phsycophant orphan
Only keeping your teachings in practice
That I won't fall from Grace.
I remember that evening I walked home from school
Barefooted and so weary
Carrying with me a series of A's
In all the eight subjects
Was sure I will make you happy
Only to find a lying body on the floor.
You were my cornerstone of life
A strong, dedicated and courageous woman
Devoted to care and provide for me
Leading me in the footprints of Jesus
But you couldn't escape the Gunshot
Am sorry for the pain you went through before you passed
Am sorry for tears you poured on floor
Am sorry for the blood you loosed
Am sorry for the lone wailings you made
I hope you are fine now Mummy
And you're Resting in Peace.
Not yet said why I called yesternight
I wanted to let you know this
I loved you so much......
I still see you burning love in my life.....
I hope to reach the destiny
And see the dreams you planted in me
Come true and live
Bye bye Mama
