I love my mum to pieces and yes I want her blessing for everything but I know that is not possible, she has lived most of her life, made her mistakes and done whats best for her, and now it is my turn. You live your own life and you are the person that knows what is best for yourself. But your parents are always going to love you no matter what.
Ok just wanna clear something up, Just cos I said that my mum has lived most of her life doesnt mean I think shes past it or old and infirm. Im only 24 and at 51 ( sorry bet ure keeping it a secret!) she has done so much more than me and things that I dont even think I would have the guts to do. Anyway shes now looking for any easy life on a beach running her beach bar, and I have still lots to discover and many more mistake to make and to learn from....
So yes she still has many years ahead of her too but she is more wise and looking less for encouragment from people.

Never mind Toubab1020, you can come visit us from Mars anytime.
Fee, so glad you didn't think your mum (and so me too) an antiquity! Power to the oma's. |

For the topic....
'Sweet Mother', by Prince Nico Mbarga. the lyrics.
Sweet Mother
Sweet mother I no go forget you
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
Sweet mother I no go forget you
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
When I dey cry, my mother go carry me--she go say,
'my pikin', wetin you dey cry ye, ye,
stop stop, stop stop make you no cry again oh."
When I won sleep, my mother go pet me,
she go lie me well well for bed,
she cover me cloth, sing me to sleep,
"sleep sleep my pikin oh."
When I dey hungry, my mother go run up and down.
she go find me something when I go chop oh.
Sweet mother I no go forget you for the suffer wey you suffer for me
When I dey sick, my mother go cry, cry, cry,
she go say instead when I go die make she die.
O, she go beg God,
"God help me, God help, my pikin oh."
If I no sleep, my mother no go sleep,
if I no chop, my mother no go chop, she no dey tire oh.
Sweet mother I no go forget you,
for the suffer wey you suffer for me.
You fit get another wife, you fit get another husband,
but you fit get another mother? No!
And if I forget you, therefore I forget my life and the air I breathe.
And then on to you men, forget, verily, forget your mother,
for if you forget your mother you've lost your life. |
