“A Mother’s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters even though this heart is breaking”

Tears. Tears and Screams of joy.

A heart beats and a baby cries.

Like rainfall, she cleans away your eyes

She holds you close and you’re alright.

Tick-tock the times fly, you don’t need her.

She’s pushed away as if she is helpless pollen drifting through the wind

She’s kept under the ground, without making a sound

Her tears are silent, but she is hurting loud.

Her love stays, even when you tell her to go away.

It seems that her love is like a dusty speck in your teenage eyes

But in reality it shines like a bright diamond who forsakes all those lies.

You both scream and shout

You both laugh and cry

Even when you give up, she stays by your side

After all “A mother’s love is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, it never fails or falters even though this heart is breaking”

A Mother's Love
