The Nubian Mother

The Nubian Mother
The nubian mother; her house is full
Her hands untired but at heart she's weak
She works and labours without a tool
She listens and observes then wisely speak
At dusk the merry of a weary dawn
Joys of watching a crawling child run
The nubian mother mastered to bare heels
Her support gives her husband a pleasant feel
Her meal a nourishment to the body and soul
At her feet of comfort the young shall grow
The nubian mother; a heart of gold
In darkness or pain her smile still glows
She gathers in bits the strays of her husband's riches
Her love if summed is in a thousand digits
She wakes at the cock crow and sleep when the bats nests
She loves her neighbours but her children comes first
When dinning with the devil she's not afraid of a short spoon
With her at forty no man can't remain a fool
The nubian mother; dark woman skin smooth
Lips of a goddess and breasts of queen sheba's chest tool
Beautiful like the lady of cyprus
Upright like the ways of the righteous
Roses, dove, swan and sparrow
Girdle, shell, myrtle and mirrors
The nubian mother a woman of steel
A bucket of brilliance up her sleeves
Familiar with the usage of paper and pen
Zenith excellence in the world of men
An environment that adjusts to her selfish end
White collar tigeress in a lion's den
Mechanised manipulation creates a desired fate
Turns mind of her own against hate
A forest of happiness can't thrive without her trees
Hands not idle, not bound but free
Transition on her watch of a house to a home
Nursing her children and husband alone
Fingers of progress
A family of essence
The love and lust
All dirt and dust
A routine on the daily
A cradle of speed and silence of the gravely
The love of a mother
Actions louder like claps of thunder
An African mother a nubian queen
Skills she learnt from her mother's schemes
