From mockery to envy



With diligence mama worked.
Without discontentment or complaint, she prevailed.
Strong or weak, she persevered.
Laziness among her colleagues, she avoided.
Secretly, they mocked mama.

With hope mama persisted.
Without shame or pride, she toiled.
Good or bad times, she believed.
Vain conversations among her neighbours she shunned
Secretly, they gossiped about mama.

With grace mama flourished.
Without relenting and ceasing, she prayed.
Day or night, she interceded.
Extravagance among her peers, she overlooked
Secretly, they respected mama.

With determination mama saved.
Without sleep or rest, she endured.
Rain or shine, she laboured.
Impoverishment among her friends she evaded.
Secretly, they envied mama.
