Motherly Soul

The sweet Soul of a mother is the sweet 
smell of Love made from the singing
of birds in the sky.

She holds her little one close to her heart; 
and when the precious listens to her heartbeat, 
it relaxes and is calm.

Night falls; she rocks her innocent back and forth, 
as he is in her arms; arms like a big beautiful bow 
around a presnt--a presnt that is Life.

Morning comes and through the sweet song of 
little blue birds, the lil' babe awakes. It awakes to 
the sight of his only hope and love; his Mother.

Motherhood, such a sweet and loving Soul. A sweet Soul 
that is forever in her young one's heart that lives
through her at every breathing moment of existence.
