A Mother’s Love. Your never ending home. A Poem written by Colleen Millsteed.

You captured her heart before that first meet
When only the very idea of you was first known,
Her heart was given freely for you to do with as you will
Although she already knew you were only on loan.

From that point on you got to experience
All that a Mother’s Love entails,
Not a day goes by, not a thing you could do
To cause a Mother’s Love to fail.

A Mother’s Love is an island
A safe port in any storm,
An unconditional love
You learn is to be the norm.

A Mother’s Love will become your safe haven
A place to stop and rest your weary feet,
The distance and miles don’t mean a thing
When life decides to turn up the heat.

A Mother’s Love will forgive you anything
No matter what you were to do or say,
A Mother’s Love will see her break her own heart
Rather than allow you to lose your way.

A Mother’s Love will see her end her own life
To keep you sure and safe,
A Mother’s Love…
