A Mothers Love

My mum has loved me forever.
From the first inkling of morning sickness.
To the pain of full term labour.
When I kicked and screamed in the supermarket.
When I threw my food on the floor.
Even when I used words to hurt her.
Despite my efforts to make her hate me.
Through my wrong and right decisions.
When I made no sense.
Through the days I forgot who I was.
My mum has loved me forever.

I will love my mum forever.
From the first inkling of her illness.
To the pain of hearing it confirmed.
When she kicks and screams in the supermarket.
When she throws her food on the floor.
Even when she uses words to hurt me.
Despite all her efforts to make me hate her.
Through her wrong and right decisions.
When she makes no sense.
Through the days she forgets who I am.
I will love my mum forever.
