A Mother’s Love

Her soft hands held my face when she wiped away my tears

A gentle kiss on my forehead when I skinned my knee

She held me tight and ran her fingers through my hair

I looked at her angelic face

When I told her how beautiful she was, she blushed and looked away

Bad days, good days, rain or shine, she was always there

The love she had for me was not based on terms or conditions

I hope someday to give my children the gift she gave me
