                                                 A WALK WITH MY MOTHER

A Poem By Agbebaku Ihomehe

The morning I walked with my mother
I hid behind her skirt when strangers spoke
When my legs were tired she carried me
When I fell asleep she cradled me 

 

This afternoon I walked with my mother
when strangers spoke I could not hide
when my legs were tired she could not carry me
I did not fall asleep

This evening I walked with my mother
When strangers spoke I answered them
When her legs were tired I carried her
In her sleep the earth will cradle her
