A Mother’s Love

By IS

Your mother’s love is tender and soft
You’re her employee and she’s the boss
She gave you life and gives you love
Everlasting joy and never-ending hugs
 
She was there from the start
And you’ll be there until her end
She’s my mother, my sister,
And my favorite best friend

    [I ‘liked’ this, and ten other bloggers ‘liked’ it before me. And I gave it a five-star rating!]

    I love the last line as it expresses such purity of love – my mother, my sister, my favourite best friend. The whole thing expresses such love! Neverending, everlasting… I want to give this poem to my mother. Thanks, IS!

    Love,
    Anasera

    IS, your poem is very touching. I love how you openly express the love and special bond that you and your mother share. Continue to write and be open with your feelings.

    IS,

    I find myself in many bad situations in my life and the only thing that motivates me to keep pushing forward is my mother’s love. They are the ones that put us on their shoulders and carry us to the light at the end of the tunnel. They lift us higher when we are at are happiest and pick us up and hug us when we are at our lowest.

    IS,

    It’s important to embrace your mother’s love. She has done everything in her power to give you happiness. No one in this world can give you love like your mother has. Be there for her as she was there for you. Nobody on this planet will understand you as much as your mother can.
