A Mother's Love Poem by Latisha Barker

A Mother's Love



There is no greater love than a mother's love
Other than the everlasting love from Heaven above

From in the womb a bond is created
As if, all her life, for this child she waited

Now her life is finally complete
She finally found the fulfillment she seeked

A mother is a valuable asset in God's platoon
She encourages her children to reach for the stars and moon

She gives them courage to believe in their power
She prays for them every hour

Everyday on her knees, she says her prayers
Because of them, she faces her fears

For her child, there's nothing a mother wouldn't do
She would slay the dragon, run the giant through

She won't lose this battle; she refuses to lose this war
Because she knows what she's fighting for

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There is a story to this poem, but it is quite a long one. This poem was inspired by a difficult season I had last year, trying to save my son, who was growing inside me, but had physical problems enabling him from developing the way he needed, to survive or be healthy (if he lived) . I remember doctors recommending terminating pregnancy, but i already knew him and loved him too much to do that, instead i tried to do everything in my power to save him, nevertheless, he passed away, however i do not regret fighting for him and knowing him for the short time i had him with me.
