A special vocation received
as one life is given and
another is forever changed
A truer bond does not exist
Anticipation marks the beginning of this journey
that somehow transcends even death
The relationship between mother and child,
timeless and unending, reaches beyond the farthest stars
Sometimes fraught with trials, tribulation, and fear
Sometimes celebrated in glory, pride, and accomplishment
A mother’s love knows no bounds
A child’s love of mother knows no end
She is the rock upon which foundations are built
and the canvas on which masterpieces are painted
She is the melody that carries each tune
that every child sings in her honor
