A Mother's Love

This was something I wrote for my mom whenever I was eight for Mother's Day. I think it's kind of cute, so I decided that other people might enjoy it as well. So... enjoy!

A Mother’s Love

A mother’s love is a gift from above,

Floating gently through our lives with the wings of a dove,

A beacon of light, the rainbow after the storm,

As joyful as the sun in the early morn.

And all the little things you say or do,

Well, I just want you to know that I always knew,

In the way you laugh or how you smile,

That your love for us could stretch on for miles.

Sometimes we argue, sometimes we fight,

But when I go to bed angry I just can’t sleep right,

Because even  in the times when I think you’re wrong, 

I can’t stay made at you because, well, you’re my mom.

Tears have been shed as my heart felt broken,

But your presence reassured me, even when you hadn’t spoken,

I felt like I was weak as I wept, my heart a mournful song,

But you let me know that I wasn’t weak; I had been strong for too long.

And I know I want you to know that I believe in you strength,

I know when you do what you love nothing can stand in your way,

But keep this in my as through your dreams you sift:

A mother’s love is the greatest gift.

Author's Note

I did write this when I was eight, so it might be a little crude. I just didn't want to change it so that it would be more accurate about what I felt then instead of being muddled by anything that I might feel now.
