Fertile soil of my mother's womb, <br />Out of which; the plant of my life grow, <br />Nurtured with ever-flowing milk, <br />Served with plates of pamper and care, <br />Warmth of your body is the Sun, <br />Your affectionate care are Moon and Stars, <br />Clouds of shelter were my coverings, <br />Rains of pains to my uncovering, <br />Without the treasured blessing of the mother love, <br />Could have been that baby thrown out the bath, <br />The precious treasure of a man's heart, <br />The jewel in greenery of my heart, <br />Oh mother, My heart deeply cries!<br /><br />Olabode Joseph Oluwatayo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mother-love-3/
