Mother Love
George Mahadma Gowaseb
It's true about love, my mother said.
Whenever I am away from home she misses me.
When her breast feels cold and heavy she knows
I am gone.
She knew I am coming back home when her
breast shakes like a Jell-0 pudding.
Love is dynamic and love can give messages to
my mother.
It's true about love, my mother said
Whenever I am in trouble, she knew,
Because the night birds would come
and sing right next to her window.
Love my mother said, keeps her going.
