A tribute to my Wonderful Mother
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Proverbs 31:10, 25-28
M" is for the million things she gave me, "O" means only that she's growing old, "T" is for the tears she shed to save me, "H" is for her heart of purest gold; "E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining, "R" means right, and right she'll always be, Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER", A word that means the world to me.
On a more personal note, I was BLESSED to have had a wonderful mother, Mother FLORENCE ADEKULE DAVIES. She was a graceful woman. She was truly a mother to me! She was always easy to talk to. She bought us up fearing God and knowing his power, teaching that he could do anything but fail. She was a woman of God that was a nurturer to her children. When I think of the many words that I could use to describe her, one word that comes to mind is “COACH”. She ALWAYS gave me that PUSH I needed in my life. When I was a child she encouraged me to always do what was right. We had to go to church, IT WAS NOT AN OPTION!!! It was a way of life in our household.
When I’m talking about her to my friends I refer to her as a “coach” because throughout my life she always encourages me to shoot for the sky, My mother use to take her Money and paid for international exams without no knowing. My Coming to America was a blessing because she planned it with my older brother and sister without no one knowing. Even in America the personal things she did for me I can’t explained it all. Her faith that she had in God and in the ability that she sees in me to operate as more than a conqueror allowed me to run this race victoriously.
Thank you God for giving me the mother that was assigned to me, a virtuous woman who touched my life in so many ways and the lives of others.
Love your son
