Momma Bear

Momma Bear ~

How do I describe the love I have for my child

The adoring and adolescent desire

To hold him and hug him without letting go

When I would snuggle and stare and his perfect small toes

As he has grown I hug him and say

Please don’t grow up too much today

He kindly looks at me with his brilliant amazing eyes

He says, mom but of course I will grow, but hard I won’t try

Just like you don’t want me to get big and grow up

I don’t want you to stop hugging and loving me so much

I looked at him kindly and replied without hesitation

My son, how I love you no matter which life station

You happen to be in or going straight through

I will love you forever, I will love you to the moon.

He smiled and went to walk away, then turned and said,

Mom, remember this I also love you to the moon AND back.

My heart fluttered then as if the first time I had held him.

Now standing before me a young man he is today ~

My baby, my darling, forever you’ll stay

Deep in my heart, like all momma bears share

My children are my everything, so please beware.
