Title: “A Mother’s Love”

My mother dear, so gentle and kind,
Rocked and cradled my infant bed,
When darkness fell and dreams did unwind,
And tears of pure affection shed.

In her arms, I found solace and peace,
Nestled snugly on my cradle bed,
Her love for me would never cease,
A bond unbroken, the words unsaid.

She shed tears of joy and of worry,
As she watched me grow day by day,
Her love, a constant, unwavering flurry,
Guiding me along life’s winding way.

   Whispering winds through the ancient trees,

   In nature’s embrace, they softly sigh,
   A symphony of whispers floating high.
   Their murmurs touch the deepest soul,
   Filling the air with stories untold.

   Listen closely to their mystical voice,
   Let their wisdom be your guiding choice.
   For in their whispers, truth may be found,
   A sacred language, forever profound.
