“A Better Future A special tribute to my beautiful Mother When you were strict towards me I thought you were being mean When you advised me to behave I would sometimes misbehave When you instilled discipline I assumed you were ill-treating me When you taught about being responsible I did not want to be accountable When you told me to go to school I felt it was not cool When you gave me less money for lunch I somehow expected more When you asked for my homework I was keen to do nothing When you said I should pray I only wanted to play Mother! It was because back then I did not know, but now I realise You were preparing me For a better future!” Gift Gugu Mona PhilosophyGift Gugu Mona LibraryDisciplineGift Gugu Mona BooksStrictAccountableGift Gugu Mona PoemsA Better Future Book:From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman Source: From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman
