BECAUSE OF YOU | Masela Samuel | 22-09-2022 - 12:12
I can't forget to remember
How l afforded to let go
The chances of juicy jobs abroad
For fear of leaving you suffering
I would only be thinking about you
Instead of talking with you physically
It was a solitary debate, very disturbing!
I can't forget to remember
How l afforded to let go rare chances
To further my studies abroad
Who would care for you the way l do?
Of course my blood flows in your vessels
It was a solitary debate, very disturbing!
I can't forget to remember
How l afforded to postpone priorities
To make you priority number one
Your health, education, ......
I paid a deaf ear
To people who wished l follow their plans
It was a solitary debate, very disturbing!
I can't forget to remember
How l afforded to turn down Advances of curvaceous beauties
Aspiring to be your mother's co-wives
Nagging as she was
Like a starved bedbug
For fear of inviting witchcraft and love potions
That would deplete stocks of my love for you
You and your mother should thank God
