Smother Love

Love is the most powerful force
In the universe.
There are many types
Of love, of course.
There is the huggy, kissy, smoochy
Kind of love
A mother gives a child,
A love that feels so good
When you are down,
The “I’ll take care of you”
Kind of love.
This I call
Smother Love
Mothers are good at it,
Yeah, they are,
But there is another kind of love
That powerfully states
“I believe in you,
You have what it takes,”
A love that says
“And this too shall come to pass!”
A love that stands for
You having a life you love,
Spreading your wings
And learning to fly.
It is a statement of faith
That somewhere deep inside you
Is something beautiful to see
Waiting to come out.”
That is the love I give,
A love that sets you free.
