You will always be my child

From the second I found out that I was cradling you in my womb,

I'd of given my life for you.

I could feel you grow, feel you move, and feel you kick.

The sound of your heartbeat was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard.

Our bond grew, every day.

My hand instinctively rested on my belly to protect you,

as I counted down the days until I could hold you in my arms.

Even through the unspeakable pain of labour,

my only concern was for your safety.

Then you arrived and you were more beautiful and perfect

than I could ever have imagined.

I finally knew what love was.

Unconditional love.

It was a love so strong, it over whelmed me.

There was nothing I would not do for you.

You were my first priority, my reason for being,

my child.

You still continue to grow but those feelings do not fade.

So, please understand that I will worry,

at time you will think me over protective,

you will expect me to realise that you are ''growing up''.

But not matter how big you grow,

I will always see my child, my baby.

My instinct will always be to protect you,

I will always love you more than you will ever know.

Because I am your mum

and you will always be my child.
