A Mother's Love

A mother's love is like no other.

It is full of peaks and mountains.

A mother's love is never ending.

It is full of optimism and understanding.

A mother's love begins on a seed of faith.

It grows within her as

the baby grows beneath her heart.

Her love is as deep as the ocean's blue.

And, as tall as the highest mountain.

A woman knows love as anyone could.

However, when she gives birth

she soon discovers that this love is like no other.

It has no beginning, no middle, and no end.

When she looks in her newborn's eyes,

Her heart is hers no more.

A love is born that is older than time itself.

For now, she knows and understands

what love really is.
