My mother’s love was there before I took my first breath
Before I was fully formed, her love surrounded me
She loved me long before I could speak or call her name
When I needed her to feed me or rock me to sleep, her love was there
I was helpless, but the power of her love cared for me
Her love showed me there was good in the world
There was a place I could rest and find peace
A place I would be accepted unconditionally
Her love taught me being right was not the same as being good
Sometimes it was more important to care for others than to prove my point
Love sacrifices for the good of the other
This is my mother’s love
In body and soul she sacrificed for me
Her enduring love made me the man I am today
I thank God for my mother’s love
