Author's Note: An early effort, but I think it conveys a message that has universal truths. There is something about the bond between a mother and her children, that cannot be duplicated.


A Mother's Heart

Caretakers of their children's souls
An art once valued now rare
Feeling from the first movements
Kicking, pushing swimming
As the little one makes itself known
A heart bond never broken.

Children grow and are nourished with knowledge
Their mothers vigil always present
Loving, hugging, consoling, teaching her brood values of the heart.
Instructing to love, to feel, to cry
To fight for what is right
Her young eternally bound to their mother's heart.

Through success they applaud
Through Failure they console
When children face trouble
Mothers never forget their own.
Mothers are forever, children they will always be
Right, wrong, successful, it matters not.
A child only has one mother
Forever tied to her heart.

As time progresses a mother ages
Children mature passing rebellious stages
Mothers are again mothers
Not an obstacle to avoid
Toughness and gentleness equal qualities needed
Always sharing her Mother's Heart
