The only love born
Even before you are
The greatest, most affectionate
Unconditional love by far
It’s the love of a mother
To her own
Young or old
Cute or ugly
Dumb or smart
Disabled or healthy
Obscure or  star

A true love that
Never goes away
But continues to grow
A tender love that
Surrounds you
All around you
Front and back
Head to toe

Longing to her arms
To her warmth
To her loving whispers
To her gentle goodnight kiss

Yearning to her gracious soul
A sincere compassionate advice
A soft pat on the head
To her soothing caress

Remembering her delicious cooking
The hot tea in the cold
Her beautiful reassuring smile
The moments of bliss

Mother’s love is love
That can never be matched
Or paid back
Her agony and pain
Her worry and concern
Her joy and gain
Are all tied
To my dreams and welfare

A love, difficult to explain
Right from heaven
Directly from the heart
A distinct feeling
That’s very rare

It’s been often said
Paradise is at the mother’s feet

May the Lord bless my mother
For her continuous love
That’s overwhelming and sweet
