This 'mother love' <br />for you, sweet one, <br />will never ever end, <br />You are the glory, <br />and I now tell the story <br />of a wonderful child <br />who is my dear friend... <br />we loved long ago <br />before crying began. <br />I carried you in my <br />secret place, until my <br />hand took your hand, <br />and together through <br />the land we wandered. <br />So never ignore me, <br />for you are my glory. <br />Thou art my child ~ <br />and alone for thee <br />I will fend until my <br />life's end.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-single-mother-s-vow/
