FEELINGS

7.FOUNDER OF OUR LINEAGE

Oh what a beautiful creature!

What a beautiful being!

You birth life to kings and queens

You cause all sorts of misery to cease

You carry the burdens of the world only to see your loved ones succeed. 

You…you are resplendent

You are brave!

Founder of our lineage

A lover of her seed, despite their age

It could only be a mother 

Only you could choose to suffer just to see your seed prosper

Oh dear mother.

You are the life bearer,

Even though it hurts.

You breathe heavy breaths

Pain rushes through your body

As a child comes to existence.

Laid on your chest

You look into their eyes.

You hold your pride and joy.

You beautifully augment your offspring.

You too dear mother

You are the life conserver 

Even though it hurts 

You love another women's seed as your own

You breathe love to a lineage of another

How could you hate yourself?

How could you think, you are not a beautiful creature?

You are still a mother

You still carry the burdens of the world only to see your loved ones succeed 

You still embrace hundreds of little kings and queens

They are your pride and joy.

How could I forget you dear mother?

You are the life bearer and conserver 

Even though it hurts

To leave your seed and go to another world

To watch them grow without your presence

To see your loved ones miss you dearly

How could you hate yourself?

How could you think,you are not strong enough?

You still protect your progeny

You are their guardian angel

You watch over them

And you spiritually guide them

You could've stayed longer,

I know that's your wish

But remember, 

You promised you'll reunite in paradise 

You mother, would never break your promises.

Oh dear mothers

I hope they cherish you while you still breathe.

Dear Thembisile 

I hope we reunite in paradise

Just like you promised.
