Mother & Son

Cradled in her arms,
sleeps an innocent soul.
As white as a dove,
he has known only love.
His face rests upon
the shoulder of his mother.
His gentle breathing like the wind
blows into her hair,
they scatter all of a sudden
no worries, no care.
But in this chaos she finds
the peace that she craves, 

and the strength 
with which, the world she braves.
For him.

no greater love than that of a mother for her son.

i agree with David on that awkward spot...bottled up the reading a bit there...but even in its simplicity i like the words and theme here, and sometimes that works just as well as complexity and abstractness.

Thank you for reading, Jacob! :) I'll change those words, almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me! :)

If there is one person whom hands becomes heaven to a child, it is the mother's embracing arms. Wonderful, just wonderful!

Currently being reviewed on Mother's Day this is about the only way I'd describe a mother's love. Thanks for this

Well done :)

This was surreal and beautiful Devesh. Nothing like a love for a son from his mother.
