A Mothers Heart

My heart is full of unbounded love Bleeding sacrifice and pain Spilling over with devotion pouring down like monsoon rain With the vastness of the ocean It beats out a warning cry To ward of evil spirits keep you safe till you can fly I wish upon so many stars To keep you safe my girl I hold you close secure and warm like an oyster holds a pearl I dreamt a thousand dreams for you I prayed so many times I Told you tales of kings and queens And endless nursery rhymes I wrapped my heart around you Gave you all that I posses Now these lips strive not to nag you when you make an awful mess Your little hands and tiny feet I remember them so well I picked you up and kissed your knees when time again you fell Too fragile for this earth plain So beautiful and pure But while you’re here I’ll guide you Hold your hand when you’re unsure You’re not alone my darling And even when I moan Know I’ll love you till my one last breath And I’ll always be your home

Its refreshing to hear such pure love poured out into verse like this. So many come from broken homes and never get to experience what you (and I) have had; a strong guiding force. That's my wish for everyone. Namaste, sister.

Hi Elaine, these words resonate so much with me.. they take me back to my childhood / upbringing and my quest... Just to know my real Mum.. (long story) I think it's to late for me now... But so glad to know that a "mothers heart" is full of unbounded love.. Thank you for penning this.. As mentioned on another post, (Poem) I think you are gifted and your words talk to many.. So keep it up! Best wishes DAMO x

I wrapped my heart around you / Gave you all that I posses / Now these lips strive not to nag you / when you make an awful mess /// beautiful poetic expression
