An Ode to Mums

By Isabel Mukasa

There should be a song for the woman who works day and night meeting the needs of those she loves,
A song for the woman who makes sure her children are okay.
There should be a song for the woman trying to complete every task given to her,
A song for the woman proud of her heritage and the upbringing of her children.
There should be a song for the woman who cooks to keep her children fed,
There should be a song for my mother.
