I just knew it in my spirit
I knew it was time
Time for me to begin the journey of Motherhood…
“But they said I am empty…”
“I will do my life as I know jàre”
“ỌLỌ́UN Á Ṣ’àánú mi”…
“Let me even give it a “stint”
“Maybe it will “do”
“Ṣèb’áànú wà”…
Knowing the bends I had navigated in my love-hungry days…
Oh, I was hungry and I voraciously, although with dignity, “ate” WHATEVER presented as love and yes, I faced the consequences…
That was what was available to me though..
Àbí what will somebody do? Little wonder I never judge anyone and I am deep on empathy. I have walked some walks looking for love! Just love. A tíntinní of it.
“If it “do”, I am GOD’S”
“If it “don’t do” I am GOD’S”
“Let me ṣáà try…”
My life in my hands
Lonely on life’s steeets
Tired of being used but GROWING as I went on
“If I perish I perish”
But I was being prepared…
Àṣé this noble, light-ful soul was ready to come!
The Plan had got him ready “there” waiting for a fitting ọlọ́kọ̀ for him here, a bridge…
Me, ready to become…
Spirit, soul and body,
Fit for him as bridge…
And he came!
To me!
Èmi?
Haaa! It have “do”o!
So I am not empty afterall?
So I am not just about being used only?!
A GIFT of mercy…!
Since his “entrance” into me, I lit up!
And I used all my might to raise this child, this gift! All of me, even with the busy-ness of my career and calling. I fought, I loved, I sacrificed ALL, withholding NOTHING! True Motherhood, soft and hard in full measure. Balance in everything. May healing be where there was “overdo” out of fear…
Looking back, it was tough but because of my “blessing of trauma” it looked like a ride in the park…
I was used to TOUGH already so we all coped at the time of coping, with dignity and honor till the time of thriving came!
He is 20 today!
My bouncing 4.2kg baby boy!
ÒGO ni f’Ọ́LỌ́UN ALÁÀÁNÚ!
It “do’d” for me!
It is still “doing”!
It will always “do”!
Happy birthday Ayọ̀ọ́bámi Ọbáfẹ́mi Arẹ́sẹ̀tẹlẹ ọmọ ọ̀ mi
Thank you for “coming” to me
It’s an honor to be Mother to you
ỌLỌ́UN Á Wò ẹ́
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ láìnííkú l’ọ́nà gbogbo!
Àánú láìníítán ni gbogbo ọ̀nà
Ọ̀rúnwòyí l’ọmọ ọ̀ mi ńjẹ́
Àwòyè!
