“That Is All I Ask Hold my trembling hand I am now ailing Do not let me fall Indeed, I am weak When I struggle to see afar Show me the way If I sometimes cry Wipe the tears on my cheeks Whilst words skip my lips Hear my voice as I whisper; “It is me! It is me! Please help me out.” For I am no longer young But old enough Would you take care of me? I require you to be there Like a child needs a parent Stand by me, time and again That is all I ask” Gift Gugu Mona PhilosophyGift Gugu Mona LibraryParentingGift Gugu Mona PoemsWhisperMotherhood PoemsThat Is All I Ask 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
