Love not deserved
Love unearned
She gives it to me
Unconditionally
Pushing me then pulling me
Closer to God
A love reciprocated between us two
She sustains me
She holds my heart
Because she knows it's fragile
All I am is because I studied
Her
She is my lighthouse
pointing me in the right direction
Maternal instinct is the fuel
the inertia that drives her
to strive for excellence
I wish I had some of her juice
A true Proverbs 31 woman
Worth more than rubies
More than life itself
Her children arise and call her blessed
Brandon Lee said it best
"Mother is the name for God
on the hearts and mouths
of children everywhere"
Pushing then pulling me
Closer to God
A love not deserved, a love unearned
The love of a mother
She gives it to me
Unconditionally

and very well put here, if I may say, as an unbeliever. This is actually very thought provoking, and no Im not being cynical. There is only the very thinnest sliver of light betwen the unconditional love of being a Mother made know to us in a very concrete sense, and that which we are told is abstract, the love of God, in whatever way we imagine Her incarnation to be.
