Mothers
Surrounded by daughters and sons
The sound of crying babies and lullabies
Mothers have no holidays
Mothers
Surrounded by chores and the world
The dishwasher sings and beds get laid
And the foods don’t cook themselves
Mothers have no holidays
Mothers
Surrounded by needy husbands and flirts
Men always come calling, ogling and begging
A woman is just a thing to have they think
A wife never graduates from being sought after
Mothers have no holidays
Mothers
Surrounded by dreams and passions unmet
Her heart beats for new songs and a music band
Servers of her will forever fail to come early to work
Hearers of her soul vibes often too deaf to comprehend
Everyone but you and me know a mother is a god
Mothers have no holidays
I dedicated this poem to my baby (wife) and baby-mama (mother of our babies) Destiny Lukia.
“That we’re Friends From Forever and would be Friends Forever is my Happiest Joy in Life”
Shepherd Godsbaby, a multi-skilled broadcaster was with the Lagos State Radio Service, Nigeria where he served as Presenter, Newsreader, Voice-Artist, Producer, Social Media Manager and Scriptwriter. Earlier, he freelanced with Radio Continental (now Max FM) after interning with Metro 97.3 FM and Voice of Nigeria (VON). He also worked with Focus Cable TV as Presenter and Head of Content Production Department. He was Relationship Life Doctor, Mentality Detective, Life Coach and Media Project Consultant helping many hearts and homes find fulfillment and helping corporate brands gain media positioning. As a startup expert, he helped built Africa Business Radio and Travel Radio Live, two digital radio platforms where he served as Creative Content Producer and Programs Lead. In a past human life, he was an interplanetary media correspondent to his cosmic family whose noblest interests he came to represent on Earth. Today, he returns as a whistle-blowing mind with relevant information to enlighten, empower and engage the human family towards a sustainable journey of life within the cosmos which is our collective playground. Having journeyed in and out of Earth’s religious and psychic hive-mind, he qualifies as a trust-worthy friendthority (a friend with authority) to help others “come out of her”. You and the whole world are therefore blessed to share in his experiences, lessons, encounters, experiments and failures. More importantly, he is blessed to be here with you and with all of us at this particular timeless moment!
” I am a living presence, a self-conscious awareness, a spirit being, a divine force-field and yes, a human being right here, right now. All words fail to describe the greatness that we are but we try to express our awesomeness in the life we live from moment to moment, this is not about me but us for I am a collective individual. Alone, I am not. Together, we are one. I am a service-driven entity, a responsive soul, I am guided by truth, wisdom and love. While I am a private tutor to many and a qualitative talent manager to a community, I am also a musician and I can’t cook to save my life. Wherever the Mother leads, I follow!”
Let no one mistake me for a god, lord or God, I find no joy in such vain-glories. Mystery is my-story but so it is for everyone of us. My wish is for my journey and expressions to inspire you to walk your life expressions!
You’re superSweet honey
You’re so honourable in the way you appreciate everyone around you
You’re magnificent like the light that brightens the day and that which illuminates the night
You’re the true Shepherd in the Shepherdway
I’m delighted to have you as my Man forever.
Here is our endless smiles showcased to the worlds
Smiles birthed not by the abundance of material comfort
But from a joy too deep to be expressed by mere words
Thank you for being a reminder of what Her Majesty Our Mother IS!
Always and All Ways
