A Mother's Love

She watches them with loving eyes

Guarding them as they grow
Teaching them how to play and swim
And all that they should know.
 
It is an instinct and a gift
To love those she gave birth,
But it’s a mother’s obligation
To help them find their worth.
 
So she watches them carefully
And helps them on their way
That they might make a better place
Than the world of today.
