A Mother's Love For Her Child

You are my child,

given to me by some miracle

that I cannot comprehend

I was worthy of.

You've come and blessed my life.

You are my world.

Whatever I've known as my own

now shared willingly

and freely with you.

You've come and opened my heart.

You are my hope,

in a world that's so unforgiving;

in your eyes I see promise

of better things yet to come.

You've come and filled me with joy.

You are my happiness

personified, yet lit even brighter

and with unimaginable beauty

created in God's light.

You've come and saved my soul.

You are my love, unconditional

whether it is given or received

and have given me complete

and utter trust in your life.

You've come and given me ambition.

For all these things

You have given me,

I have become a better soul

For this I do promise you

my love forever,

and ever to become more like you.
