To My Mother

Your love like a grain of sand on the beach

Your love like every star I want to reach

A particle of dust in the wind

A strand of hair and pore in the skin

A drop of rainfall from a flood

A cell in an ocean of blood

Your love is countless

Your love is the best

Your hate is love

Your love is love

Should I compare thee to …………

The sun and moon guarding day and night

All the fireflies burning with light

A shepherd caring for his flock

An apostle like Peter the rock

A duck caring for her ducklings

A goose caring for her goslings

A hawk feeding her bowet

A swan feeding her cygnet

Can I count every grain of sound?

Can I count every strand of hair? And

Can I count every bright star in the sky

Or each bit of dust like the winds that fly?

Your love is countless

Your love is the best

Love me more, love me little

Your love is like a molecule
