A Mother's Love
A mother is many things,
But above all else
A mother is the one who loves her child
Unconditionally, completely and forever.
A mother’s love never sways, never disappears
And only becomes stronger as time goes by.
A mother is the light
That leads the way in the darkness of life.
A mother is the hope
That you cling to
And the guiding hand
You hold on to.
A mother is the reason you exist
And the reason you go on.
And even when the world seems like a cold a lonely place
Solace can be found in a mother’s warm embrace.
Mother
For my mother, whom I love so much,
I make one wish,
That she be happy forever, in this world.
What ever she does comes straight from her heart
And her pure soul holds the secret of life.
As she wakes,
Dawn covers her with her light
And gives her a beautiful smile,
That she shares with us.
As I look at her
I think she is an Angel
That spreads her wings
Comes down to earth
And embraces me in her arms.
Untitled
Though words
May inspire
And enlighten us,
Only acts of true love
Can ever touch our souls.
The Beginning of Life
God created Adam and Eve.
But because of their own choice
They were banished from Heaven
And God punished Eve
By making her endure the pain of childbirth.
But God's curse became a blessing
Because no matter what pain Eve endured
She knew that she had created life
And that was all that mattered.
A mother's love is so very strong
And knows no boundaries
And the bond between a mother and her child
Is unbreakable.
Untitled
Joyful are those
Who find happiness.
And happiness
May be
The beginning of
A sunny day
Or the end of
A rainy day.
Mother
To find Beauty
You must look not with your eyes
But with your heart.
Beauty will be found
Sitting peacefully in a Paradise
That was made for her only.
At her side you are seated
Surrounded my a million roses.
Your every word spreads like music
And to the listener's ear it sounds Heavenly.
You're gifted in so many ways,
More than I can even say.
Your heart is wider and deeper than any ocean.
And your love knows no boundaries.
Live in the perfect harmony
That you have created
And forever hold happiness in your hands.
Untitled
I may not know
Every Who, What,
When, Where
How or Why
But I do know the essence:
"I LOVE YOU!"
Untitled
Inadequacy of words
Is something that only occurs
When someone is trying to say
Just what their mother means to them.
For You
Far across the land and the sea
Lies a gem
Ever so ever so precious.
It sparkles
Just like the sun
From North to South,
From East to West.
Once I dreamed
I was near it
And I could see it
Ever so ever so clear.
Suddenly, when I least expected it
I heard a voice
The voice said to me:
"Would you like to have it?"
And I replied:
"No. For I have a gem
Much better than this one."
"And does it sparkle so?"
Asked curiously the voice.
"Oh! Much more"
I replied.
"Then you must be proud
To own such a gem"
Said the voice.
"But I do not own the gem" said I
"For the gem is the giver or my life, my mother"
"But how can a human be a gem?"
Asked the voice.
"She is as precious as a gem"
I replied.
"But how can she sparkle so?"
Wondered the voice.
"She has a sparkle in her eyes.
It came the day
She first saw her baby
And looked at it with all the love in her heart".
When I finished what I was saying I awoke.
I then thought to myself
How much more precious my mother is
Than any gem in the world.
Untitled
To put into words
Just how special
You really are
Is something
Nor I
Nor any mortal man could ever do.
Your light
Shines brighter that the sun
And for longer than eternity itself.
The world became a better place
The day you became a part of it.
And I will love you
Until the end of time.
Untitled
I ask of you
One small kiss,
I am willing to give you the world.
I ask of you
Your everlasting love,
I am willing to give you my soul.
Forever I will love you
And every thought I ever had of you
Will always remain
Deep in my heart.
Mother
Your eyes
Like stars
To brighten our lives.
Your lips
Sweet cherry pie
To sweeten our days.
Your words
Bird's melodies
For music to enter us.
Your hair
The finest silk
To soften our hands.
Your heart
A garden full of:
Sweet pink
Beautiful red
Bright yellow
And enchanting mauve flowers
To make the bouquet of life.
And I know
That every time
I hold you
I'm touching
A piece of Heaven.
Untitled
I did not fear
The raging winds,
I did not seek shelter
From the falling rain,
I did not tremble
With the sound of thunder,
I did not cower
At the sight of lightening,
And all of this
For the whole time
I was clasping your hand.
Untitled
You ask me
If I love you,
Well I do.
You ask me
If I could live without you,
Well I couldn't.
And if you should ask me why
I shall of course reply:
"Because no one and nothing
Could ever replace
Your human grace."
Untitled
Every morning
The sun rises
And brings with it a new day
To a world a little different than the day before,
And each day that passes
The world changes a little more,
But one thing never changes
And that is a mother’s love for her child
And her child’s love for her.
Forever lasting love
That makes the word a better place to live in.
Untitled
Some how
It does not seem fair
That you are given
But one day a year
In which to celebrate.
So I shall give you
A kiss a day
To show you
Just how much
I love you!
Untitled
If in this life
I did not have you
Then I would not be able to face any trial in life
Every hill would seem like a mountain,
Every river would seem like an ocean
And no day would end with a smile.
But I do have you,
So every day begins with hope
And a promise for an even better tomorrow.
