Love Poem: A Mothers Heart

A Mothers Heart

My heart is full of unbounded love
Bleeding sacrifice and pain 
Spilling over with devotion
pouring down like monsoon rain

With the vastness of the ocean 
It beats out a warning cry 
To ward of evil spirits 
keep you safe till you can fly 

I wish upon so many stars
To keep you safe my girl 
I hold you close secure and warm 
like an oyster holds a pearl 

I dreamt a thousand dreams for you
I prayed so many times 
I Told you tales of kings and queens 
And endless nursery rhymes 

I wrapped my heart around you 
Gave you all that I posses 
Now these lips strive not to nag you 
when you make an awful mess 

Your little hands and tiny feet 
I remember them so well 
I picked you up and kissed your knees
when time again you fell 

Too fragile for this earth plain 
So beautiful and pure 
But while you’re here I’ll guide you
Hold your hand when you’re unsure 

You’re not alone my darling 
And even when I moan 
Know I’ll love you till my one last breath 
And I’ll always be your home
