A Walk With My Mother - Poetry

                                                 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 

8 lies that the mother told

A lot of people don't know how much mothers sacrifice or do for them on a daily basis. They pray, they worry, they withhold themselves from many things - just to ensure their children have the best. This is a post by an unknown author, chronicling the life of lies his mother lived for him.... just so happiness would, everyday, be his portion.

The 8 Lies that Mother told.

1. This story begins when I was a child.  I was born the son of a poor family. We often lacked enough food.  When it was time to eat, mother often gave me her share, saying, “Eat this rice, son.  I’m not hungry.”

 - That was Mother’s First Lie

The First Time I Fell in Love

"Love is blind, because Mother started loving me - before she saw my face"

The first time I fell in love
By Jamike Ekennia-Ebeh
--------------------------------------------


The first time I fell in love; I couldn't understand it.
I was then so young and felt life was a gambit
But to me it didn't matter, this was love at first sight
It was a love that felt, even, righter than right
So I gazed at love.... and love gazed back
See.....the first time I fell? I fell right on track
