A Mothers Love

Once upon a time I waited
You arrived later than expected
The lights were dimmed and silence remained
The humming of life surrounded us

As the months pass by my arms have grown stronger
Spring, summer, autumn, winter…. and then spring
I awake to your teachings, you show me great things
The cycle remains and is unending

I’ve taken my first steps to a love like no other
It is you, me, nothing and everything.
