Every Mama is untalented, you need not talent to love

Super Steemian Mum

Sometimes, I wish Mama could worry a little less. I told her I was traveling back today and she has been calling ever since. I wasn't in a position to receive her call so she called my best friend @gunneresq to inquire about me.

She isn't growing any younger but she's working too hard and I'm worried about her. The 52 year old woman still works 10 hours a day. She is a primary school teacher and she has been doing that since I was little .

Mama married at a very tender age, 24. She immediately started having children and she has been striving to make ends meet ever since.

Mama is a soldier!

Growing up in an African home I thought Mama was wicked. As a disciplinarian she would spank us properly each time we misbehaved. In fact at a time I began to question if really she is my biological mother.

But something about her has changed. Ever since we all became adults, she's become a bit withdrawn, she hardly scolds us and even when she does it's usually in a very cool manner.

She thinks a lot nowadays and she has very little friends. Her heart is filled with love and she is also very very young at heart. She likes to dress and look good and she has this amazing smile, one thing I've started to think I took from her.

She isn't too computer literate but she's making effort. I remember when I and my elder brother were still very young. We went to the cyber cafe to browse one day and when we returned and told her where we went , she got a cane and flogged us badly alleging that we went to corrupt ourselves with pictures of naked women from the internet, haha.

She recently signed unto facebook (I haven't accepted her request yet)

Mama has a curious mind, she is brilliant and hardworking. She is dedicated and has serious grit. She is dogged about her life's principles. She won't change for anyone.

At a time, she wanted to forward her education from where she stopped so she registered for the Senior Certificate Exams (something she done more than 33 years ago) you can imagine the difference in syllables from that time and now.

Mama is dogged, she would stay up all night reading and practicing past questions. She did her Best Buy things have really changed. She struck out of the exam.

If Mama signs up to Steemit, she may be a bit reserved for the first few weeks, but after sometime she would get used to the language here and start to interact with people. She may not socialise much so Her following may take sometime to develop.

She may also have difficulties trying to balance her work with Steemit. She may just slide in and out after work hours before she rests or late in the night when she wakes up to pray and meditate.

Mama will never leave Steemit. She is that dedicated even to a fault.

With the difficulty in climbing up the Steem bar, I think a good way to make her enjoy the platform will be to buy her lots of Steem power to enable her share love with different people around the world.

Mama is not too good with analytic skills but she is a teacher and she'll be taught. She'll write mostly religious materials and act as a mentor to people on issues touching on family, marital life, education and practical reality.

This post is my entry for the untalented contest by @surpassinggoogle and it's dedicated to Mum's around the world who are catching the Steem fire but especially to @surpassinggoogle Mum who recently slept on. May her kind gentle soul remain in perfect peace. Amen
