There is no other love...
Like a mother's love.
It feeds us and protects us
as it wraps around us.
You bury your head in her bosom and
the world can't touch you.
Her lips on your forehead warm your heart.
Then you see her eye to eye...
And, you see her as a gentle, loving woman.
And, you know she is stronger and more powerful than her stature.
And, you know her love is larger and greater than you will ever be...
But, you will try.
Then, one day,
you wrap her in your arms and feel her body slowly weakening.
Now, you kiss her on the forehead,
and warm her heart.
And, you wish you could protect her...
She looks up,
smiles knowingly and closes her eyes.
Her job is done.
Your heart is strong.
There is no love
Like a mother's love.
It feeds us and protects us...
wraps around us...
And, never lets us go...
Te adoro madre!
Perhaps a mother's greatest gift...
is forgiving us for growing up...
To you... strong, powerful, gentle, loving mothers...
May you enjoy moments of harmony on this beautiful day!
