What is love?

What is love?

 I asked my mother,'What is love?'

She smiled and held me with a loving hug.

She then sat down and began to say,

My darling, love comes in mysterious ways.

When I was first told you were inside of me,

My heart skipped a beat and I was on my feet.

I couldn't believe what I heard,

But my heart accepted every word.

The long nine months was a scare,

But still I kept you with lots of care.

Though I was still in a deep state of shock,

I heard from inside a slight knock,

It was a sign telling me ,you were ready to come out.

Everytime I said 'I Love You',

You knew it was always true.

You would cuddle in my arms,

Knowing I'd forever be with you.

Time flew by so fast,

With just a wink,you were sitting in a class.

It felt like a day and:

You were already on a business trip to USA.

Now your all grown,

With a family of your own.

But my love for you was no sacrifice,

Though it took alot of time for you to realise.

That a mother's love comes in many mysterious ways.
