Momma Is A Superhero

Momma went all in...
To cater for her infants,
She had to fight a lot of giants...
Whenever ailments barge in;
You know they're intruders, right?
Nevertheless, momma was a bodyguard...
Bowels almost drowned in hunger...
Damn!! Momma was a lifeguard...

Momma went all in...
Momma went through the process
Momma was once a "gurl"
Momma became a "Woman"
When she developed milk-factory
in her breasts...
And Momma became a "Mother"
When she dedicated to selflessness
Also, Momma was a Lioness
Mess with momma's curb(s)?
Her fury burns beyond fourth degrees...

Momma went all in...
Momma had a life but sacrificed,
Just to ensure her infants win...
The pillar of the home...
Stronger than "iroko"
Selflessly relentless;
Relentlessly Selfless...
Trading gold and valuables;
Momma is a rare commodity...

Momma went all in...
Momma was Multi-Skilled, Multi-Gifted,
Even Multi-Lingua...
Momma was a Doctor, a Nurse, and a Surgeon...
Momma was a Paediatrist,
Dermatologist, even a Dentist...
Momma was an Entrepreneur, Civil Servant
And a Student...
Momma was a Trainer, Tutor, even a Janitor...
Momma was a Driver, Hustler,
And a commuter...

Momma went all in...
Momma did everything...
Momma always came through...
Momma never cared about the cost...
Momma thought me how to love;
How to sacrifice and be strong...

Momma brought me to the world;
Treated me like her entire world...
Momma's been here from day one;
My consistent intercessor...
Momma is a superhero!!!
God bless the womb I came from...
