Love is A drive through the country Your golden hair streaming in the sunset As you stand up through the sunroof And howl back to creation Music blaring Love is your hand in mine Not letting go Your legs trapping mine Even as you ask me to get you a drink of water Love is cheeks ablush with unspilled joy and laughter Rising like a cake in the oven Till its pushing under my skin And making me rise and glow Love is your skin soft beneath my hand As I stroke your sleeping face Marvelling at the abandon and innocence Written free across your face On every beloved inch An innocence that I, your mother, have nurtured and kept safe I watch you from the corner of my eye Even as you go in your own direction Knowing that every place you go to place your feet Has flowers to cushion your footfall Watered by my tears And called forth by my kisses The warm breath of my prayers For you For you You can take everything I have Everything I can give Love is Love is The love of a mother There is nothing greater
