A Mothers Love

She is there when her child cries; her children are always in her heart and mind.
She will sacrifice her very life; she will do whatever it takes to be patient, understanding and kind.

I met such a mother as this just the other day. Her name is Maxx and in her eyes a mother’s love one can surely see.
I spoke with her briefly and when she told me she was a college graduate I was touched deeply and forever moved.

She spoke of wanting to be a good mother; she spoke in an almost hushed tone.
Her smile was as soft as a gentle spring breeze, but her eyes…her eyes spoke volumes.
In them you could ever so easy see a mother’s love for her child and doing whatever it takes to provide and make it through yet another day.

Often in life we all fail to see what a good mother does to provide for our every need.
Then we grow old and all that we have are the precious memories in our mind of a good mother to behold.

So listen now children; listen to this lament which pours forth from my soul.
Make now your memories of a mother and her love for you.
For, someday you will look back through the veil of time and remember her solemn sacrifice when she is no longer there to hold.

Therefore Maxx this simple verse is dedicated to you.
Though we only chatted briefly I could feel in my heart and soul that your love as a mother was genuine and true .

I wish you only the very best as you strive with heart and soul to fulfill your quest.
For it is true ; to have a mother’s love is as sweet as the nectar of honeysuckles of a hot summers eve.
Her love is forever and this I see in you, therefore may God always bless you as you strive to meet your child’s every need.
