Relentless Love

_{by junebride}

Never in my life did I thought
Of having this feeling of great and bold
The moment I held your little fingers
True love came rushing into my heart that's cold

Never in my wildest dream that I had imagined
Caressing a tender and delicate being
And now that you are in my arms
Motherhood instincts just slowly started emerging

Oh how small you were when you came into this world
Yet you had filled my world with lots of tears and joy
Tears for days of postpartum challenges
But joy came each time you glance at me with gladness

I could not forget the first nights and day
When I felt like it never ends
The pain I had to go through
Sleepless nights and eyes oh swelling, this is true

That day you had your first full latch
You smiled at me and my heart skipped a lot
Oh how pure a mother's love
To a baby who doesn't even have a single clue

Days became weeks and weeks became months
Now you are a year and a half
It was like yesterday when love came filling our room
Now you are growing bigger, oh would you please make it slow

I stared at your cheeks, your lips latching
Your eyes are closed but I can sense your heart beating
I will surely miss these days of you gave me your full attention
As you grow up, change will be inevitable

I plead the heavens to spare you from pain
I asked the good Lord that you will grow big, strong, and loving
For there will be troubles and pain in life
But know my baby that mama will always be by your side
And my love for you will remain relentless over time.
