Ode To Maama By Aishat Elusogbon

-

It's not just the fact that you gave me birth 
Or you let me you womb without a month's rent.
It's more than the fact that you took care of me 
Or trained me to be a Mother-to-be 
It also surpasses the Deen you taught me 
Which turned out to be the most important thing. 

It's just the fact that you did all these 
And still managed to be uniquely unique 

I won't bother to describe your amazing self 
Because words would not be of much help.
But with this short piece, I would have you know 
That my love for you will never cease to grow.
