The day I lost you, my beloved Mother.
Though I may never see your face again in the flesh,
Until Christ Jesus returns,
Your love will forever live within me.
A mother’s love knows no ending,
Especially the bond between a mother and her only child.
Though death has taken you from my sight,
Nothing can ever take your love from my heart.
My love for you, Mom, is eternal,
And in my heart, you will always remain.
You were my rock when life grew hard,
My anchor when storms threatened to overwhelm me.
You stood beside me through the darkest nights,
And fought with all your might to lead me into the light.
You never gave up on me,
And I will forever cherish every moment
That God, in His infinite grace, gave us together.
I always felt safe when I was with you.
How I miss our precious times together,
Our talks pamushana, our road trips,
Our visits to town,
And those midnight drives when work called you away.
We were inseparable, you and I,
Mother and only child, bound by a love beyond words.
Even today, those who see me without you still ask,
“Where is Mhamha?”
And every time, my heart aches a little more,
For I must explain a loss I wish were not real.
You have left a void no one else can fill,
A silence that longs for your voice,
And an emptiness that reminds me daily
Of just how blessed I was to have you.
I miss you every day, Mhamha.
In the quiet moments, I remember you.
In the difficult moments, I long for you.
And in the beautiful moments, I wish you were here
So I could share them with you once more.
A mother whose love was unsurpassed.
A nurse whose dedication to duty was uncompromising.
A strong, independent woman who built her own legacy.
My hero. My best friend. My shield.
My comfort, my strength, my rock.
You were my greatest source of safety,
And your love remains my lifelong refuge.
Though I must now walk this earthly journey without you,
I carry your love with me wherever I go.
Until we meet again in Christ Jesus,
Rest peacefully, my beloved Mhamha.
Your life was a blessing,
Your memory is a treasure,
And your love is a gift I shall carry for all eternity.
I will always love and cherish you, Mhamha. Moyo Chirandu.
Forever your only child,
Tendai Ruben Mbofana
