The Heart of a Mother

a Celebration of Love

Sharie C
Your love for me
is wide and deep like sky,
endless,
without boundaries.

You know my flaws and failings,
yet you love me.

You've experienced my angry and ugly words,
rebellious tantrums,
and foolish lies,
and you love me
still.

The vastness of your love
never diminishes
for this
wayward, imperfect child,
living
in a grown-up's body.

I stand astonished,
speechless,
by the generosity of a mother's heart.

You have shown me love

and I am in awe.
