Love and Sacrifice

She carried you with anxiety into her heavy womb, and listened that gentle heartbeat... much quiter than a drum's beat; alone to hear your baby's voice in the silent room! Love and sacrifice that's what the word, " Mother " means to any small heart which is fully loved, but still weak; and her warm hands never tiring of cuddling and touching... will, indeed, protect you from many harms coming! And didn't her ever-sweet eyes move away from your cosy crib, to tend to those infant's needs with life-giving milk? and before her lullaby ended, you rushed to sleep... being watched over by the love' angel to weave your first dream! Little darling, with eyes reflecting the color she herself owns, how excited she gets when you stare at her and wiggle your toes! Little darling, struggling to say the words , " I love you, mommy! " your expression is enough to make her proud and happy! Love and sacrifice are sacred words that outweight the cost, and devotion and dedication are the bonds she can't break; adorable one, she'll guide you down your dark path with the wisdom's light, so that you may never be lost!

this is a wonderful poem. I love the demonstration of love and devotion. My favorite images are; "cozy crib, quiet drum, and the angel to weave your first dream." Lovely
