A Mother's Love

What is the meaning of a Mother’s love Is it something that comes from above When hurt or pain may come your way A Mother’s love is there to stay Little boys can play so hard Stopping at nothing in the yard Running from what we do not know Always ready and on the go Growing older we look back and see Just what life is and has to be Little boys are gone for now Becoming men and taking a bow As you grow up into your adult life A mother’s love will keep you from strife Going off into a far off land Now a man to make your stand Protecting what you hold dear now A Mother does not ask of the what and how She only knows she has a true great love One that will shroud you tenderly like a glove
