#DearMum Talk Islam

to the woman that loved me before i was born
to the woman that held my heart long before it had formed
to the woman who was left sleepless from dusk until dawn
with weakness upon weakness for nine months long
telling herself it would all be worth it soon as she rest assured
for when she finally made it through to that hospital ward
it was love at first sight
the second she saw
me
i mean she’s the type that would give up her only slippers just to make sure that my toes were warm
see
she would always favour me despite the fact she always needed it more
she would
wake up early every single morn
to stand freezing in the cold, hanging up the clothes we had worn
standing at the stove for hours
cooking bowls of food, we would swarm
and whenever we weren’t home
her heart would be torn
i mean she can never ever sleep whenever we were gone
she will stay up all night next to the phone although i would never call
so she sends me text messages

Please, I can’t sleep..just let me know that you’re safe and secure

and whenever i was sick
she would always know what was the cure
i mean the love she gave to me was the best medicine that was pure
