Until I became a mother, I did not understand, The profound sense of love in a Mother's heart and hands, As I Whisper, "Mummy loves you", I rock my precious child to sleep. Small perfection in my arms; sweet breaths, slow and deep. I now see me as a baby; your rocking me to sleep. You whisper, "Mummy loves you, my heart is yours to keep." At last I recognise your love, as a Mother I now see. As I hold and love my child, you felt that love for me. I will always be your baby, despite the years that pass. You have given me my life, and a Mother's heart to last. The greatest thanks I can offer; more than words can ever say Is to give my child the love, you gave me everyday. Author unknown
