Unequalled Love

In darkness I rise
A strange dark path
I am led on.
A journey of faith and trust.
Into the light I emerge,
The first touch, the first sound
Oh! So strange..!
I hear a wail,
See a smile of delight.
The wail I realise comes from me,
The terror soothed by the
Gentle eye and promising smile.
I looked deep into those eyes.
Those clear orbs of love and trust.
Those joyful eyes,
With tears it filled.
A hug, a kiss,
So delightful and safe.
I looked at her again,
Whom later I would call
' Mother ' .
That body of trust, love and selflessness.
That careworn face,
Eyes of adoration, a beacon of hope
In despair.
For me to protect and cherish ,
Love and adore
Until I or she goes
Again into darkness where
It all began.
My first love.
My mother.
