IS MAMA EVER WRONG?

When mama scolded me

I thought she hated me

But I saw the fire in her eyes

Her desire to make me a better man

When she got calm, she whispered;

“Son, it was a necessary rebuke”

With a smile, I replied;

“Mama, I understand!”

When mama said we will laugh last

I did not understand her

At the time, everything was crushing

Yet she insisted, things and times change

To the world, the vision was blurred

All hope was lost but mama was adamant

Through the fog, she saw the light

Today, we are the ones who laugh best

When mama said we wouldn’t last

I thought she was jealous

Mama loved me too much

And was scared to lose me to some lady

I spent time with Lucy more than mama

 Soon, the other part of Lucy showed

Excessive demands and half truths

But mama had her arms wide opened

And with a broken heart, I ran to her

She said, “It’s good you learnt the hard way”

When mama said I will turn my back on her someday

I knew she was only joking

And yeah! She was just joking

She only needed me to reaffirm my love for her

Mama, I LOVE YOU!!

But for long I’ve been wondering

IS MAMA EVER WRONG??
