A Mother’s Love
A Mother’s Love lasts as long
As the ocean tide
Though it’s ever changing
It’s something she can’t hide
For the bond a mother feels
Deep down in her heart
Remains as unconditional
As it was right from the start
When she held you in her arms
And kissed your tiny nose
A special seed was planted
And to this day still grows
Through the years she watched you grow
And change from day to day
With the sunshine in her laughter
As she watched you play
She kissed it when you skinned your knee
And wiped your little tears
And made a silly little game
Out of all your childhood fears
She supported you in everything
You ever tried to do
And tucked you in every night
Saying “Angel, I love you”
A Mother’s Love is constant
So Perfect and so True
A very special kind of love
Reserved for only YOU.
