“I Promise You
A message of hope from a wonderful Mother

I am here to walk you
Through this journey called life
I will look after you
Until you can do so on your own
I know you need my help for now
Yes, I assure you my lovely one
I shall hold your hand no matter what
And stand by you, even in the darkest night
Will ensure your days are bright

Indeed, the Earth can be so rough
Just like the ocean changes its tide
Fear not, for I will be on your side
With you, I will fly high
Until we go to the skies
And touch the shining stars
I will not let my scars
Stop me from being kind
To you my precious child

I will be there
Until the end
I promise you!”

“A Remarkable Woman

She is so exquisite
Even without make-up on her face
She is very special
Even if she lets others seem important
She is selfless
Even when the selfish surround her
She offers a lot of love
Even so, she needs it often
She has a big heart
Even though she appears small
She lets others belong
But she longs to be appreciated

She adds value
Despite her own worth being undermined
She is attentive
Nonetheless; no one pays attention to her needs

She is patient
No matter how long it takes, she waits
She is giving
While no one could be willing to give
She is forgiving
Much as the worst was done against her
She is trusting
Albeit her trust was broken a countless times

She is wise
In spite of being treated otherwise by some
She works hard
Notwithstanding that she requires to rest
She is helpful
Yet, there is none to lend her a hand
She makes life seem easy
Whilst going through difficult times herself
She stands by others
Although there is no one to stand by her
She chooses to be peaceful
Against being somehow provoked
She is calm
Undeterred by what is not
She is bold
In defiance of tough battles ahead
She shows bravery
Still in the presence of adversity
She is fearless
Though she may seem helpless
She is spirited
Contrary to attempts to bring her down
She is never destroyed
Irrespective of storms she faces sometimes
She keeps moving forward
Granting the hindrances along the way

She does not look down on others
Regardless of some doing so to her
She recognizes those who shielded her on rainy days
Whenever the sun shines upon her
She keeps on running her race
Because she knows for her, grace is abundant
She puts a smile on, always
Since prayer keeps her in the right place

She is an inspiration
A pioneer of transformation
True leader of economic revolution
How the world aspires for such
A remarkable woman!”

“Shine Bright

Take it from me
This life is amazing
You are the one with power
To choose what you desire
Please make the right choice
Do not just make noise
Have a voice
Which people can listen to
Be that special person
Who is known for solutions
And not for causing trouble
You have what it takes
To turn this world around
Let go of any self-doubt
Get out of the mud
Shake off the dust
Work hard, my child
Make sure you shine bright”

“I Should Have Told You

Child, I love you
I wished to be with you longer
But I had to go to a place up yonder
My time on Earth was over
There is something I should tell
I hope you receive it well
Here is a vital fact
Not every parent might share
Please lend me an ear
Learn while you can

I want you to know
That life comes with its highs and lows
Stand for yourself, whether or not it snows
Pray more and fast more
Trust the Lord your God
When storms come your way
Do not doubt your faith
Put on a brave face
Run in the right lane
You shall win the race

Be a good learner
Always be eager
To become an achiever
Keep being a dreamer
Never fear to be a leader
Because you were born to prosper
And that my adorable one
Is what I should have told you”

“The Things Mommy Taught

Oh, my child!
You are beautiful, without a doubt
Love the person you are
Look in the mirror with a smile
Seek after things that matter
Allow nothing to ruin your good heart
Shun anything wicked for you to hear
Listen, so you too can be heard
Choose to be of good influence

Invest in a better tomorrow
Become no one’s shadow
Learn not to be shallow
Lead so others can follow
Let go of what brings you sorrow
Know where to find joy
Even when I am gone
Remain strong
In the storm, do not get lost

Fix your eyes upon the Lord
Fill your mind with the Word of God
For in it are infinite wells of wisdom
Hold on to His promises
Pursue your purpose
Say a prayer
Make sure you prosper
Each day on this Earth
Remember the things Mommy taught”

“I Pray For This Girl

Oh yes! For the young girl
Who just landed on Mother Earth!
The one about to turn five with a smile
Or the other one who just turned nine
She is not only mine
My Mother’s, Grandmother’s
Neighbour’s or friend’s daughter
She is like a flower
Very fragile, yet so gorgeous
An Angel whose wings are invisible

I speak life to this young or older girl
She might not have a say
But expects the world to be a better place
Whether affluent or impoverished
No matter her state of mind
Her background must not determine
How she is treated
She needs to live, she has to thrive!

Lord God Almighty
Sanctify her unique journey
Save her from the claws of the enemy
Shield her against any brutality
Restore her if pain becomes a reality
Embrace her should joy pass swiftly
When emptiness fills her heart severely
May you be her sanctuary!

Dear Father, please give her
The honour to grow without being frightened
Hope whenever she feels forsaken
Contentment even after her heart was broken
Comfort when she is shaken
Courage when malice creeps in
Calm when she needs peace
Strength when she is weak
Freedom to climb on a mountain peak
And wisdom to tackle any season

Guide her steps, keep her from tumbling
My Lord, if she does sometimes stumble
Lift her up, so she can rise and ramble
Grant her power to tactfully triumph
On my knees, I plead meekly for this girl

I may have never met her
I may not know her name
I may not be in her shoes
I may not see her cries
Yet, I grasp her plight
Wherever she is
King of Kings
Be with her
Each and every day
I pray for this girl”

“My Beloved Son!
Special appreciation from a wonderful Mother

Look at you all grown up
Kind, but tough
What an honour
To be your Mother
Truly blessed by your aura
You have done me a favour
By being part of my life
I am grateful that you are fine
May you know whose you are

As your loving parent
I make the commitment
To share essential lessons
That can help you excel
In the path that lies ahead
I hope you will understand
How you will get there
With joy, love and care
Please, lend me an ear
Of this, you should hear

Be grounded in the Lord
Pursue His Wisdom
Acknowledge His grace
Seek His ways all your days
So, when hail comes your way
You will not faint, but reign
Stand tall like a tower
Go higher and higher
Please shine brighter
My beloved son”

“My Darling Child

Yesterday, I was a child
Today, I am a Mother
So much like your Grandmother
I realised another life
Was growing inside of me
I had to embrace another being
As part of my daily living
That is how I found my healing
You are my precious gift
My love for you is so deep
When I held you in my arms
I could not help but admire
Such a beautiful Soul
I sang you a song
To express my joy
Of being a parent to you
I knew there was a reason
You were chosen
To journey with me
So, here is my promise
Will be the best Mom I can ever be
I will stand by you forever
And no one can take on
The role I play
My darling child”
Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
“Woman of Virtue

She could be as still as a statue
But unapologetically vibrant
Even in her silence
She exudes confidence
Yet, so humble

She runs her race with courage
Because she has a clear picture
Of where she is going
She knows who she is
And what she really wants

She understands what her worth signifies
Extremely dignified
Many odds she defies
Has influence that no one denies
No matter where she goes, she prospers


She makes life so much better
Never doubts her own power
She whose face shines brighter
Such a paragon of splendour
That recognizes God’s favour

Committed to excellence
Crowned with brilliance
Clothed by abundance
Cloaked in resilience
Conquers through experience
She is someone I look up to
A woman of virtue”
Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
“She Is Remarkable

Salute to the woman who knows who she is
And why she is who she is
A powerful being
Once thrown into the deep end of the ocean
But swam her way back to shore
She never stops moving forward
Nothing can ever pull her backwards
Such a brave warrior

Shout out to the superwoman
Determined to change the status quo
Because she feels the need to do so
Just like an eagle
She soars higher and higher
As the wind blows stronger
She does not let anything deter her
From reaching another level in life

Thumbs up to an amazing woman
A great force to be reckoned with
That committed Mother on the street
Who trades from sunrise to sunset
Trying to make ends meet
Oh, she has a heart so big
Being mindful that come snow or sunshine
She has mouths to feed

I revere this gifted woman
Who uses her creativity
To make an impact in society
Despite the uniqueness of her talent
She remains a trendsetter
It could be the potter in whose hands clay becomes magic
The miner who touches gold, before it even gets sold to the markets
Or the strategist who sits in high-level meetings, making sure organisations do not collapse

A special mention to the special woman
Who chooses not to give up
She understands that others look up to her
The smart lady out there, with a clear vision
She makes things happen for her family, community, and the world at large
She deserves a badge of honour
Because she is remarkable!”

“Grateful For You
A gratitude poem from a Mother to her miracle child

You are a wonderful treasure
My love for you I cannot measure
In you, God gave me an Angel
Through you, I was blessed by the Heavens
An answered prayer of way back
Just when I thought it was over
My precious gift from Above, you showed up!
Filled with your bright smile and loads of fun
You make me so fine
Oh, what a privilege in life!
To be given such a sense of pride
As I call you my child
While you chose to be mine
You are so kind
You bring me hope every time
I could go through heavy tides
With you by my side
I always rise
You help me to make many strides
I cannot drown, not even once
You give me a better chance
To become a daring Mom
I have peace, even in the storm
Because you teach me to stay strong
So glad you came along
And never left me all alone
What an honour to be your Mother!
My perfect match
Such a great catch!
My very best friend
Will you lend me a hand?
To walk beside you on this land
You are all I ever need
And I am so grateful for you”

“The Priceless Job of Motherhood

God of Heaven
I am here on Earth
To follow a Divine mandate
Of being a loving Mother
I know I have no strength
To do this on my own
I pray for your wisdom
To perform this task
Without a fright
As I raise these children
Please help me remember
I was never hired for this role
But highly favoured
To find myself in it
Hence, I acknowledge this privilege
Of being a parent to them
Lord, I lift my hands
And bow to Your majestic Name
I say at top of my voice
Thank you, Father
For the priceless job of Motherhood!”

“This Life of Mine
Reflections of a fruitful Mother

I am now old
But I am also bold
My ideas I have sold
Through the stories I told
In too many folds
I narrated to my folks
The beauty of my walk
Hence, I will always talk
About the wonders of this world
The wealth of wisdom
I imparted to my children
And many others that came my way
I did not only live for myself
Yes, I graciously helped
I made a great impact
Hence, I do not regret
I am filled with gratitude
As I take this final breath
Knowing I have done my level best
It is time to depart the Earth
I still look back
As I thank the God of the Land
For this life of mine”

“Be The Best

I woke up every morning
Saying an earnest prayer
Asking the Angels to surround you
To keep you safe wherever you go
Remember to play your part
Please be smart
And wear your crown with pride
Ensure you rise
My precious child!
Always follow the light
When it gets dark at night
Continue to shine where you are
Look beyond the confines
Touch the skies
Make history
You are not ordinary
My own flesh and blood
Be the best!”

“It Can Be Done
An inspirational poem from a loving Mother to her child

It can be done!
Yes, we have to believe it
We have seen God do miracles for others
And we know He has power
To turn the situation around

It can be done!
It does not matter what happened in the past
It may seem impossible
But highly possible
To the Lord of all possibilities

It can be done!
Even if you have failed before
You can still try once more
Work until you are sure
Of a better outcome

It can be done!
As long as you do it with passion
Just go on your knees and say a prayer
Make sure you prosper
Because it can be done!”
Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman

Love them instead
Put up a good fight

Avoid any regrets
Choose to be great
It is my sincere prayer
That you soar like an eagle”

“How Shall I Ever Thank You?
An ode to my precious Mother

For saving my life
When there was a plot to end it

For loving me
When I felt unloved

For treating me with kindness
When some were unkind

For standing by my side
When it was not easy

For providing unwavering support
When I needed you the most

For brightening up my days
As I faced dark clouds

For finding solutions
When I went through challenges

For offering courage
When I was afraid

For bringing me hope
When I was in despair

For showing me the way
When I went astray

For being able to pray
When I asked for a prayer

For everything you have done
How shall I ever thank you?”
Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
“Always There For Me
Ode to my beloved Mother

When there is no sunshine
And stars do not shine in the night
When the moon is not so bright
And there seems to be no light
You are always there for me

When darkness is here
And my pillow becomes a pool of tears
When I am surrounded by fear
And I need you near
You are always there for me

When the seas are rough on my side
And I swim against the tide
When I run out of time
And I struggle in life
You are always there for me

When I am soaked in the rain
And cloaked by pain
When sadness puts me under strain
And my joy goes down the drain
You are always there for me

When my mornings find me mourning
And middays appear cloudy
When midnights are filled with groaning
And my new dawn is being delayed
You are always there for me

When the road is long
And I need strength to go on
When my voice is gone
And I cannot sing a song
You are always there for me

When my heart is weak
And I feel so weary
When there is no sign of victory
And I sometimes worry
You are always there for me”

“Our Brilliant Mother

She did not go to school
But she schooled us on many things

She was not qualified
Regardless she gave us quality care

She missed out on her own career
Since we were her full-time job

She was not in a high position
Yet she made things happen

She was not a celebrity
Still, we celebrated her presence in our lives

She never lived life to the fullest
Because she lived for us

She did not have it all
Even so, she was all we had

She was not perfect
Simply the best

This is enough reason to always cherish
Our brilliant Mother!”
Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
“Our Mothers

Your eyes see hope for tomorrow
Your hearts are made of gold that many wish to borrow
Your minds sharp enough for others follow
Your hands ensure that children grow

Your feet go places where some cannot know
Your courage makes you stand where strong winds blow
Your presence becomes warmth, regardless of the snow
Your influence can be felt within a stone’s throw

You hold nothing back for whom you protect
You speak words with good intent
You treat others with so much respect
You fight and never retract

You pursue a path that keeps your faith intact
You fulfil dreams and make a significant impact
You pass through tough times while remaining steadfast
You conquer battles as you pray and fast

You instil discipline that becomes a great shield
You serve others until they succeed
You give inspiration among those who bleed
You understand that you are rearing a rare breed

You plant and nurture the right seed
You help attract breakthroughs with speed
You care for those in need
You touch lives, indeed

You lead your own to be great every step of the way
You play your role very well, even without a pay
You smile as if every day is your pay day
You exude wisdom and put it on full display

You save generations from going astray
You run your race just like in a relay
You pass the baton with no delay
You carry so much worth as you get to be gray

Hence, we salute you, our Mothers”

“Mothers Are So Wonderful

We are the ones who carry babies for months
We feel anxious about their safety
We do our best to keep them healthy
We worry the most when they are thirsty
We feed them when hungry

We are the ones who look after their wellbeing
We ensure our kids’ lives are worthwhile
We find ways to provide optimum care
We are patient to see them grow older
Yes, they always run to us for cover

We are the ones who are called names
When things go wrong with our children
But given no credit when they excel in life
We create conducive environments all the time
We take the bullet for our loved ones
We brace raging storms on their behalf

We are the ones who walk miles
In search of better opportunities for our offspring
We sleep very late and wake up too early
We guide them to achieve great things
We say prayers for them to prosper

God was right to entrust women with childbearing because Mothers are so wonderful”
Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
“A Special Prayer For Mothers

To all the Mothers
Who stand for what is right
They work so hard
Never let the weather dictate
How they love their children
Always there whenever needed
Do what is best for loved ones

Yes, they guide leaders on how to reign
Cry out to God to save future generations
As they plead for true liberation
A reliable source of inspiration
Not ordinary humans
But special women
Whom we call Moms

Fighters of hunger
Seekers of wellbeing
Promoters of longevity
Providers of stability
Pioneers of societies
Pillars of many countries
Teachers of morals and values

We pray for their blessings
And breakthroughs in all they do!
This is our special prayer for Mothers”
