Notes About The Poem

Birth of Mothers Love

Birth of Mothers Love

Up above the clouds so high
angels start to loom.
Excited chatter everywhere
for the baby in your womb.

Only heaven understands
the words the angels say.
But deep inside your heart you know
your baby's on the way.

Fear and joy they both collide
happy tears a mother cries.
When suddenly a brand new light
lights up a mothers eyes.

The baby born and fear subsides
a mothers heart grows bolder.
In the very moment found
when mother gets to hold her.

Blessed by heaven here on earth
blessed by God above.
On the day a baby's born
so is a mothers love.
