Motherhood

January 2, 2014

At birth I held you.

Through tears I hold you.

With smiles I hold you.

In fear I hold you.

I am your mother.

At birth I loved you.

Through tears I love you.

With smiles I love you.

In fear I love you.

I am your mother.

At birth I was there.

Through tears I am there.

With smiles I am there.

In fear I am there.

I am your mother.
