Yo mama, it's your birthday

A strong woman
that's who you are
you have been through the fire
and the flood
and yet you have remained standing
steadfast
trusting in the Lord
for His promises never fail

A beautiful woman
that's who you are
People see you and ask
"Is that your sister?"
I frown, you smile
and we both say no
you never forget to remind them
that I'm not even your first

A funny woman
that's who you are
we always sing
"man worry, man die
man no worry, man die
so why worry"
as we burst out laughing
even when the news is not so good

An intuitive woman
that's who you are
you understand
my smile
my frown
my silence
you see beyond the words from my lips
to my heart

So today, mamaG I celebrate you. June 22nd 1958..the Lord sent one of his special ones to earth. I thank Him for preserving you, for giving you the strength to stand through all that life has thrown at you. I thank Him because I know you haven't seen anything yet. He said there shall be more glory in your latter days. He will surely take you to the place that He has shown you in Jesus name. You are blessed.

So yummy grammy, keep on rocking!

MamaG...na u biko!

What a week!

Yaaaaaaaaaaay!

I can finally write some words on my blog. What a week it has been but I thank the Lord that I am still here and I am still standing. The experiment didn't work the way it was supposed to but I thank God anyway as I am still here to repeat it.

How is everyone, i must thank you all for your comments on my last post. Reading it now..it makes perfect sense and I'm glad I'm free.

Happy Birthday Mummy, when you read this I want you to smile because you are more beautiful everyday. I always remember how you smile when people ask if we are sisters but we are more than that, we are best friends. I thank God everyday that you are my mother, my 'paddy', my business partner, my prayer partner, my tutor and also my student. I love the fact that you can ask me questions, that you are not the sort of parent who 'knows it all'. I love the fact that we can discuss anything and even though we 'fight' we try to be fair (ha, ha).

I love the way we have 'names' for everyone and we can laugh until tears fall from our eyes. I know it isn't always easy with the MC but i love that you share about it even though I know I'm not always a good listener. I love the way you say it as it is (call a spade a spade and not a garden fork!) whether it's what I want to hear or not. I love the way you dance to my music when I'm playing stuff in my room(well, really your music since I love music from way back!)

As I grow older, I find out how much like you I am..the only thing I don't like are the fingernails (LOL!) but I thank God for the mother that I have. Truly as the Bible says you and your children are for signs and wonders.

Have a great birthday today..i wish I could celebrate it with you but here's a million kisses from London to Lagos via Virgin Nigeria (hope say e go reach there o) mwah. Love ya!

Me (don't want to write what you call me, they may think I've gone loco!!!!)
