My Hero by Skaps The Advocate




Our journey has not been a smooth journey
Its never been sweet and rosey
Its been Bumpy and full of  storms
With a patient and loving driver
She is my hero
She is my mother

Swollen feet and High blood pressure
Unpredictable and unreasonable cravings
Supercharged moods and happy moments
A burgeoning tummy
You carried me nine months
Of sicknesses and no medication

You are my hero
You are my mother
In celebrating you
I celebrate your love
I celebrate your bravery
I celebrate your patience

Mama to show me the way
You would slap my right cheek
Cane me when angry but with great love
You could punish me
To give direction not to hurt me
How I wish I could do the same to my Norma
I can only watch and say stop it
We have been schooled and colonised  by the west

Mama you toiled
Worked hard and you still do
For me and my siblings you never rested
For us to have the precious meal on our table
From changing my diapers to my life coach
Mama you my hero

Mama i toiled worked my fingers out
Worked in the fields before and from school
As a child I saw a wicked and abusive mother
The western culture sees child labour
As an adult now I see a great teacher in you
You trained a winner
I love you mama
Mama you my hero

Now it’s the time
The time you sit down
Sit and be served like a queen
Take off the apron
It's the time I toil and put food on your table
Its time I changed your torn and patched wardrobe
From a servant to a queen
Mama you my hero
I love you
