MOTHER Murdena (An Acrostic Poem)
©Lucinda “Lucindagrace” Peart, 2020
Mother of rare species! Search worldwide; yet not found on any bush
Unbelievably, Untiringly, Ubiquitously there for your dear children
Reliable to them as the sunrise, never skipping a beat in its rising time
Divinely chosen! Just perfectly consistent a Mama! a Mom! a Mommy!
Energizing every minute fibre in each child, woman though she be
Noteworthy sacrificing your all – a Christ figure! Such finesse and grace
Altruistic! You coined the word! You demonstrate it! You are Mother!
Wash-belly Queen (An acrostic poem dedicated to Trudy Anne Silent in Celebration of her 44th Birthday, 19092020).
True blood, rare intelligence and wisdom
Radiant under the darkest cumulonimbus
Untouched by the thorns that spike at you
Determined to stand and face intimidating defeat
Yielding not an inch to the push of the rear-end enemy
Achiever! Achiever! Diversifier! Matching your God-given gifts Never allowing assorted pains to conquer your strivings
Noble in family bonding initiatives that display care
Effervescent! Invisible tattoos of love and kindness
Such African beauty! Eyes diamond! Skin rich titanium!
Indelibly branded by the Master Artist, mold discarded
Lovingly lighting the way for many searching peers
Even those who seem to forget the path of your magnanimity
Nobly, sweetly defending your own cause against injustice
True to the end! Victory awaits you on earth and in heaven!
