ABOUT MY /best friend //my mum/

my mother 2011 (lagos)




My mum is my  best friend so dear
‘cos she is always near.
I look to her with so much admiration
For she is my inspiration.
My mum who always prays when things get tough
So that I don’t sway when it gets rough
Her food is so good                                                               
It keeps me in bright  mood.
She works at night by the spindle
Her tender hands firm on the needle
Your fadeless smile guides my way
You are the sunshine that lights my day.
