A Mother’s love

​

A mother’s life is unbelievable.

Before the child started growing in her womb

She couldn’t imagine feeling more

For anyone than she does her Lover

 

A mother’s love is intense.

From the moment she sees her child

Her heart begins to expand

To such vastness that it can no longer

Remain hidden inside her skin

 

A Mother’s love is unbreakable.

She does her best to teach good from bad

Yet when her child makes the wrong choice

She does not blame it or despise it

Instead she helps it learn from its mistake

 

A Mother’s love is never-ending.

When the child becomes an adult

And has its own children

Her heart simply swells

So it can include these in her embrace

 

A Mother’s love is precious.

And so I write this to my Mum

Whose love I never needed question

Yet it wasn’t until I had children of my own

I realised how truly blessed I am to have 

My Mum
