♥ The love of a Mother knows no boundaries; Sets no limits; Redefines definition; Sees the perfection in the imperfections.

♥ She surrenders her body to the growing life inside, graciously giving in to the demands of her growing body. A Mother who never had the opportunity to have that life grow inside of her own body, was able to grow that love in her heart as her child grew inside of another.

♥ To accept Motherhood is to embrace with an open heart, the possibility of having that heart broken; Broken clean open; to be filled with pride, to be seasoned with pain, to be strung out, to be tenderly tied with the sweetness of a baby’s breath.

♥ She wraps her child in the safe embrace of her arms knowing there will come a day when her child will perhaps fight against that very embrace in search of themselves. She places her trust in her faith of knowing that the safety provided will extend in Spirit, and will always be available for the return home.

♥ She is gentle in spirit, flexible in direction, yet unbendable in her faith.

♥ She is grounded in the reality that raising a child is synonymous in raising herself. She is generous in her ability to become one with humanity, and humbled enough to accept her independence.

♥ A Mothers love is all encompassing, surrounded by the very Grace of God. The dance of the Heavens are discovered in the color of her eyes.

♥ She plays with greatness the role of many titles through out her days.

♥ She admittedly recognizes the fears of her failures, yet acknowledges with certainty, that the failures do not make her a failure, instead they are to become the platform for her success.

♥ And finally, to know and experience the Love of a Mother, is to experience the very life force, the very breath God breathed into man. To breathe her in is to be blessed beyond measure. She is worthy to be honored, worthy to be praised, for she is raising the very existence of our future.
