Super Hero
Born 1990, M, from Lagos, NigeriaShe's a true hero, a woman of all seasons
She is called super hero for a reason
She knows the pangs of motherhood and understands the woes of a struggling father
She knows it's easier to scatter than to gather
She’s a lover of love and hater of hate
She's a keeper of time and dates
I hear she’d rather remain last than jump the queue
I also hear she's naïve and without clue
She's neither a clueless or timid beast
She sure knows when to use her fist from when to call a feast
She is first to give and last to take
She knows there's a thin line between love and hate
She knows after crawl comes stride
She strives for peace at the expense of fear, valor and pride
To many, she is zero
To me, she is a hero
Some say she lives next to hell
Some say she's a steaming gunpowder and bombshell
She's like a man of many wives
She's a cat of nine lives
She's a love story of a billion success stories
She remains immortal
My best definition of true motherhood.
My mother, my super hero.

01/18/2021Wow,
A wonderful tribute.
Well thought out, well written.
You have watched your mother and done what not to many men do.
You are a deep thinker, considerate of her position in the family, a very thoughtful person. Your mum is very lucky to have a good son like you.

01/14/2021Darlington,
If there is a dry eye in the house (or on this thread) then they didn't read the poem! My Mom became one of my best friends late in life (She was always my Mom, and hated it when children called their Mom's by their First names!) So she was Mom all the time I knew her.
Thanks for this.Smiles, Kevin
