MOTHERLESS

MOTHERLESS 

by ASIIMWE SAM RUHINDI

Day after day night after night

Time passes away but I can’t find

A way to forget you mom

You produced me, breast fed me,

You showed me a mother’s love to a child

Oh am motherless mother less

When the winds of the nights are so cold

Even in the dark, your absence lights up

I look up in the sky hoping to see you

But I can’t I only see the stars moving

And I do believe that in those stars

One represents you my dear

Oh am motherless

Have you ever felt so alone and nothing?

Makes sense that’s how I feel right now

I feel like I’m facing everything on my own

With nothing but tears and a fake smile

Oh am motherless

I close my eyes so I can sleep

But your smiling face comes back to me

I put my hands in the air to hold you

But I find my self alone

Oh no am motherless
