How much affection can a heart hold? In your eyes, such tenderness; in your lap, such warmth. You taught me to walk, caught me when I fell, scolded me when I stumbled, healed me when I bled.
What patience you poured on me from that first moment—when I kicked, when I hurt you— and when your eyes found me, you let that sting go, never held it back.
A tear rolled down your cheek, and it seemed the joy contained in that single drop was blooming into flowers along its path. It felt like magic, but in that moment I had found love in its truest form.
The one who lives entire within my heart, asking nothing, astounds me still. Can a heart truly hold so much devotion? It is life's miracle, and it births itself only when a mother meets her child.
Today I know our bond is sacred, beyond what any force could ever untie. Your scent will forever be my solace, and your arms—my truest home.
