POEMS WITH RUKENNY

FOR MY MOTHER

You were just six months old,

Innocent yet left in the cold.

In the freezing fierceness of the night,

You were left to the arms of the streets.

You grew without a mother

But you became one like no other.

I've never known anyone to sacrifice all

For love,

For family!!

But you did it all!

You gone extra miles

To write on my lips smiles.

You've died again and again,

To keep me alive and ease my pain.

You deserve more than the world can offer,

Here and after.

I've never known anyone

surrounded by choking hate

Yet still gives love.

It was you!!!

For everything you've been through,

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you.

I love you mother!!!
