Mother

There’s a sparkle in her eyes in the morning

And laughter that escapes without warning

💕

Her aura always radiates power

She will come running, regardless of the hour

💕

Her strong, soothing hand on her child’s back

Unshakeable determination to fend off any attack

💕

Determined refusal to surrender to pressure

Absolute certainty that she knows better

💕

She has sacrificed her own comfort

But wouldn’t hesitate to, once again, put forth the effort

💕

She knows her child is capable and strong

But she also knows when something is wrong

💕

She has never hidden the truth, even when it wasn’t easy

Now she knows her offspring understands the value of honesty

💕

She has given comfort at every age

But she also knows when it’s time to turn the page

💕

She knows that she has succeeded in her chore

When her child needs her no more

💕

But she will always be there just in case

With a kind word and patient smile on her face

💕

Author’s note: This poem is based on my own experiences with motherhood. Everyone should have the experience of being loved unconditionally. Even if that experience is provided by someone other than a mother.
