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
