A mother's love

On the day of my existence

You held my being.

With utmost gentleness, 

Being careful not to break 

My fragile bones

And my newborn spirit.

You cried,

With tears of joy

Whispering that I was beautiful.

You smiled your special smile

Signifying,

That I was loved.

As years go by

And as I was growing up,

You held my hand 

And guided my way.

Each single step that I take

Was special

For you were always by my side.

But along the way, 

We grew apart.

I lived my own life

And chose my own path.

I turned away from you

Repelling every kiss

 And every hug.

But you were always there.

Caring for me,

Loving me from afar.

I was so busy growing up,

That I've forgotten about your love.

Time came

You grew old,

You got sick.

A secret you never told. 

 All I know was you started dying

And in an instant

I was up and crying. 

I regret all the time that I wasted.

All the happy memories,

That we should have shared.

I regret not being with you

When you needed me most. 

And I regret never having to say, 

"I love you".

As I look back 

And remember you,

Your sweet voice,

Your angelic face,

And your loving nature, 

I realize

That there's nothing greater

Than a Mother's love.
