A Mother's Love
Whose is the heart that
bursts with pride each time
she sees your face
Whose are the eyes that
dart about to check your world
is safe
Whose are the arms that wrap
you up and hold you tight
and close
Whose is the love that's always
there whenever you need it most
Whose is the smile
that lights the room when
you are smiling too
Whose shoulder is the place to be
when only a cuddle
will do
Whose chest is warm and
comforting when you're a
weary soul
Whose motivation only has
your happiness as
her goal
Whose are the tears that
cry for you as you grow old and free
Whose is the heart that aches
so much in the space that you should be
Whose is the head that knows that
you must find your path alone
Whose is the voice that welcomes you
each time you go back home
Who could have so many facets
that make her oh-so great
Who has you on her mind each
day and today we celebrate
Whose hands hold and guide
you in a way unlike another?
All these are part and parcel
of the joys of being a mother!
