An Unconditional Love

Can I ever repay the unconditional love you are giving?
Receiving all the cares you shower me without stopping?
I hear you say that you do it for love as maternal deed,
Sacrificing your time and self to fill up my need.
Everything you do makes me happy today,
Now I realize that it is not just for display.
Come a time when it becomes my turn,
In the near future I shall be able to return
All the favors when I become a mother too!
