Prompt: A Mother's love



"A Mother's love" is sacrificial.

to nurture her child and make him grow.



"A Mother's love" is bold and daring.

Even if the whole world goes against her,

she braces herself and protects her child.



"A Mother's love" is unconditional.

She never expects her child to return

her love and her utmost devotion.

She accepts even his unrequited love.



"A Mother's love" is sweet and delicate.

She weeps silently when her child hurts her

but that never reduces  her feelings.



"A Mother's love" is boundless and priceless.

No pelf or jewel can measure her love.

It is a debt which one  can never pay.
