Zhenreenah Muhxinga’s poem to celebrate Mother’s Day on March 27th will resonate with many.

Dear Mother

I hope you are keeping fine

On this lovely day full of sunshine

You are a special Mother everyday

With showers of blessing for you I pray

Sending love, kisses and hugs too

You are the very best that is so true

Earth Goddess, Great Woman you are nurturing

spiritual universe

Compassion, Love and Peace you truly deserve

You pay interest in my hopes and dreams

Makes me full with happiness and self esteem

What would I do without you

Guiding me when I am feeling blue

Supporting me I will strife

You deserve the very best in your life

You are worthy of so much praise

Health and wealth for all your days

Long life for eternally

This poem is just for you and you only

Because there is no other

Than my beautiful mother

The greatest quality is that you are loved.
