Life In Different Folds.

**Singing With The Angels.** *There was that time she told me to be patient that she's got me* *I stood from afar while she reached her arms to me* *There was that warmth, that friendliness...deeply inviting* *There was no denying the truth that it was enticing* *Around her arms she wrapped me with a pat on my back and I felt peace* *Peace that is as deep as the ocean...so calmly refreshing* *Just the assurance and the ease that I sought my whole life* *She said it, kept to her words - she acted what she said* *Like a virtuous mother in the Bible...she arose and gave ease* *A mother and more...she broke every wall of pain and gave joy* *She had a heart of gold...full of strength and energy* *Love was her driving force which was why she rarely gets tired* *She won't only show you how and where to walk but walk with you* *Pushing you to be the best of yourself you can be without altering you* *Her ways are pure, blessed and encouraging* *She is not just anyone but a wonder wonder woman I can call mother* *She's gone from the face of the earth but her influence stays*
Happy post-humous birthday to you, mama. Your influence still spread like fragrance even though you are no more. Everyone still speak glowingly about what a blessing you are to g singing with the angels. It's hard to know you are no longer with us and it has been two year now. It still feels like yesterday and it's as though you are still with us. I feel your presence daily and I know most people do. Thank you for being the best mother in law anyone could wish for. We all miss you. *Thank you for your time.* *My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks.

I love the lyric above the last photo of your mama "she's gone from the face of the Earth but her influence stays" My condolences to your Mama
I'm glad you love them. Thanks a lot. I believe she's in a better place...singing with the angels. Thank you.
I never met her when she was alive but I know she's a wonderful woman. You've helped me in various ways and I am sure you took that from her. I hope she rests in peace.
She was indeed a wonderful woman. I believe she's in a better place. Thank you so much dear. Missed you.
Well no one needs to know because it is what they know they will use against you May her perfect soul continue to rest on
That's the sad reality sometimes...what people know, they use it against us. That's life. Thank you, dear.
Yes o and you are always welcome 🤗 boo-boo
🤗🤗🤗
I want to speak with angles but it looked very tough to handle. I am happy to see you back Ola, have a good day.
Yaaaaay, my friend. I've always been here. I post once in a while even with no engagement. I'm glad to have you here. Thank you.
It's lovely to see you, my friend and what an emotional read that is. Mama is smiling while reading that.
Mamaaaaaaa. Oh how I have missed you. Haven't heard from you in ages hahaha...I guess the weather kept you away and busy too. Thank you so much, mama.
MR Ola you are indeed a wonderful poet writter. I love the way you composed such a poem from your emotions. May Mama soul rest in perfect peace. Take good care of yourself Sir
What comes from the heart touches the heart, truly. I am glad you felt that too. It means a lot. Thank you so much.
This is so interesting to read for. I had reflected something in my life too.
That's great and I would love to know what that is... if you don't mind.
She won't only show you how and where to walk but will walk with you. This is a deeper reflection of how kind and accommodating she was. Truly legends, leave on even after they are gone.
She absolutely lives on...very accommodating and lovely. You got that spot on. Thank you so much. She's forever in my heart.
It's always so sad to know that the person who means so much to you isn't there anymore. Mama will be proud of you wherever she is.
I hope she can be. She was an angel while on earth. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you.
I love your poems, sir. Truly most smiles are just masks to hide the hidden Pains we feel on the inside. Happy birthday to momma, her legacy lives on. Thanks for birthing such a great generation. I'm sure momma would be pleased and smiling at you from heaven.
Thank you so much. Yes, the smile hides a lot of pains which no one can really know unless it's expressed. Thank you for your kind words.
I came after a long time on your blog and believe it is always relaxing to read your poems.happy birthday to your mama hope she will be in best place. Prayers.
So good to finally have you. Indeed, it's been a long while. Thank you so much. I'm encouraged.
