Montage Poetry

Mother's love

It does not matter how old I get,
I see anything new or splendid,
I want to call "Mom, come and look".
The god to whom little boys say their prayers
Has a face very much like their mother's
In the eyes of its mother
Every Beetle is a Gazelle
If evolution really works,
How come mothers have only two hands?
A mother always has to think twice,
Once for herself and for her child
A mother understands what a child does not say
Home-made jam from mom is really bottled love.
The goodness of a home is not dependent
On wealth, spaciousness, beauty or luxury.
Everything depends on the mother
Mother's love makes a woman
More vulnerable
Than any other creature on earth
Mothers are the only people
Who tell you the truth when it's going to hurt
A mother's arms are made of tenderness
And children sleep soundly in themselves
Mother's love is the fuel that enables
a normal human being to do the impossible
