~MOTHER'S LOVE~

I held my newborn baby, beneath my motherly wing,
I gathered him close and sang the songs a mother sings.
He looked at me as if to say "Will you accept me in your heart?",
"Of course I will!" I replied, "Yes, we'll never part".
This little child was a gift that only God can give,
He was placed within our family to grow and learn to live.
The love I felt for my little child sprang from deep within,
I wanted to nuture and protect this youngest of my kin.

A first we were together, nothing stood between,
Those seemed to be the finest years when we could both be free.
My child grew strong and lived his life with pure delight,
I taught my child to love the Lord and follow in His Light.
I hovered close to keep him going in the way I knew was best,
But as my child got older--he said "Let me do the rest."
I swallowed hard and stepped aside, but never far away,
I'd stay near to catch my child, if he should ever stray.

But my child had learned his lessons well;
he walked the path he should,
He prayed and read his Bible; he lived the way he should.
But the angels came one morning, saying
"It is time to go back home",
Through my tears I remembered--he was here with me on loan.
Now life's sweetest moments haunt each facet of my dreams,
But I savor every minute of those precious memories.
When I step through Heaven's door--we will be together,
Though I am here and he is gone,
a mother's love lives on forever.
