A mother’s love

Whether you are born from the womb
Whether you are brought into the fold
A mother’s love is all you will need.

She will wipe away your tear
She will take away whatever you fear.
She will tuck you in and say a prayer.
She will watch you sleep.
She will worry about where you are.
A mother’s love is always near.

Whether she is with you everyday.
Whether she is just a memory.
Whether she is gone to heaven,
She is with you always in your heart.
That crying in the night,
A mother’s love will always hear.

Whether you are far away,
Or you are with her 24 hours a day.
She will always think of you.
She will always wonder why.
Why she is not with them
Why hasn’t she gotten a call?
A mother’s love will not fall.

Celebrate the days together
They must be cherished.
When a child cries or wants to scream
Or they want that candy for breakfast.
Or they just need that ice cream.
A mother’s love will be there
Whatever the weather.
