A mother's love starts with a babe's debut
That flickers like a flame against the night,
A snapshot of a heart that beats in you
A life that you will guide towards the light.

Such tiny movements felt, though often slight,
The whispered echoes of a life; brand new,
Each flutter seeks to bring its own delight
A mother's love starts with a babe's debut.

And so the love expands with every view
The grainy contrast between black and white,
A vision of a dream that has come true
That flickers like a flame against the light.

An all-consuming love with every sight
Breathtaking in a way you never knew,
No way to know the warmth you would ignite
A snapshot of a heart that beats in you.

A bond within a journey you've come through
Together as you set the world alight
Remembering the goodness you brought to
A life that you will guide towards the light.

You'll love this child with all maternal might
Protect this child in everything you do,
Adore this precious life that's pure and bright
For now this baby's love will grow through you.
A mother's love.
