Ode to My Mother
Kambani Banda
​
​
Looking at you from a distance
you are my star
I look at you and feel like a planet
in space and you are always with me
like my flesh even when I am
alone you are there to comfort
me even in the darkest of
nights, you are my star
​
I see you in the kitchen washing
dishes but in my eyes you are a
superhero saving the world
with your love and peaceful
spirit-- you are my star
​
When you are in the garden you
restore everything lost over time
in wars and diseases-- you
fix all that with one
smile, you are my star.
