Through her pain, she will love you

Your mama is the ocean

She is the deepest of complexities which rise to waves crashing against the sandy shores

And you, precious one, are its pearls of opalescent colors.. gleaming with joy

Through her salty tears, she will love you

Your mama is the galaxy

She is the stars that shine and the red planet that spins

And you, brilliant one, are its comets uncatchable beyond farthest reach

Through her dizziness, she will love you

Your mama is the earth

She is warm and comforting, gentle and kind.. sometimes quaking with passion for its people

And you, growing one, are its living things, ever wild and ferociously free

Through her burning core, she will love you

Your mama is the mountain

She is the bending river and rocky hillside

And you, adventurous one, are its fresh air, keeping her awake and alive with the power of time

Through her strong stance, she will love you

Your mama is the woman who raises you, challenges you and comforts you

She is the mother who satisfies her child with goodness and grace

And you, sweet baby, are the one she will always adore for through her pain, she will love you
