Mother’s Light: Song Lyrics Inspired by Losing a Mother

Over the past couple of days, there have been quite a number of articles and posts about how to manage Mother’s Day when you are motherless.

I was quite grateful for them as they really helped to shine a light on the secret struggle that I have gone through over the past 5 years since losing my mom to colon cancer.

Here she is. My loving Mother Beatrice Egwuonwu

 

Today, I decided that the healthiest thing I could do was to say to myself what my mother would have said to me.

As I began the process, suddenly it became a song that I want to share from the heart of all those who’s mother has passed on.

Here is the Song: Mother’s Light

*Recorded extemporaneously from my mind into my Samsung S5. pardon the key 😉

TITLE: Mother’s Light by Ozioma

You my Darling

You my Darling

This is your mother calling you…

from the womb

I have given you all that I could give

Ensuring that you live

at the level of sky

Even though I had to die, I live on in you

I live on in you

I live on in you

And every time I hugged you.

Every time I kissed you

Every time I held you

I gave a little piece of me

Every time I walked you

Every time I soothed you

Every time I told you to stay away from blasphemy

I gave you..

I gave you ALL

I gave you…

I gave you ALL

And every single day, in each and every way

I know you’re missing me–especially today

I want you to know

I want you to feel

I want you to hear:

My love lives inside of: YOU

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
