A Mother's Love

A mother's love is the staple of life; a mother brings life. She is a teacher, a nurse, a cook, a friend. She walks you to your classroom on your first day of school and cries when she says goodbye. A mother stays up late to wait for you and wakes up early to make sure your favorite jeans are washed. She holds your hand to cross the street and takes pictures of all your events. She kisses your boos-boos and talks to you about your first crush. A mothers love makes you the person you grow to be and endures many heartaches. A mother should see your first step, the day you are married, the day you have children. A mother should never be the first to say goodbye. You make her whole world and without you a large part of her will die.
