POEM: Mothers and daughters

Mother’s little girl runs to her

And embraces her till breaths crumple.

In that very moment,

Life stands still for a while,

Flesh against flesh,

Heart to heart moment,

The embrace of her little girl

Just feeds her soul with inspirational nourishment.

The mother’s eyes peer deep into her child’s,

Mother loves moments like this,

Moments that take her breath away

When her child gives her a hug and kiss.

It’s those beautiful life moments

That the mother shall always treasure.

Mother’s love for her beautiful girl

Has no depth, has absolutely no measure,

But that sweet little girl

Will mature into a young lady

And soon that beautiful little girl

Will get married and have her own family.

But this isn’t the end of the story,

Just the beginning to a new life chapter.

It’s moments in life like this

That the mother will treasure and capture

And stow them away in a pocket in her heart,

Embroider them deep within her soul.

She will rewind back in time

To those moments that made her feel whole.

Her heart will create a scrap book

Filled with moments like these,

And when she feels sorrow,

She will look at the scrap book and feel peace.

Her daughter is all grown up now,

She’s an adult now it’s unbelievable,

But to the mother of this young lady,

She shall always remain mother’s little angel.
