A MOTHER'S INTRINSIC LOVE

It is a love that literally grows inside a mother.

Intrinsic and internal is the genesis of a mother’s love. 
It is holistically ambiguous and yet fits you like a glove. 
From the moment of conception you are connected as one. 
A mother is the nurturer before your eyes ever see the Sun. 
She is the first one to feel you and know that you are alive. 
Her love and commitment will ensure that you survive. 
Throughout this life of worry your connection will remain. 
She will be that voice of reason that helps you to refrain. 
She will dry your sad eyes when no one seems to care. 
She will stand by your side when no one else is there. 
Deep in inside her being is the space that once held you. 
It is where she first felt you kick when no one else even knew. 
It is provides internal connection to the life that she let grow. 
It is an elemental connection that men will never know. 
It describes the love of a mother; it is intrinsic and intertwined. 
It's a love born internally when you shared one body and one mind.

Author's Note

I have never been able to understand mothers that abuse or hurt their children. It is a amazing thing to allow a life to grow inside of you. A father will never know that connection. Love your mother and love your children because she loved you enough to carry and protect you.

This is a beautiful poem, and shows the wonderful bond between a mother and her baby. But don't downplay the importance of a father. The right kind of father is deeply connected to his child.
