"Special Day" by Irena Jovanovic, From the Mother's Day Gifted Words Anthology

 

Special Day

 

My motherhood has bloomed,

when my son has emerged,

as a tiny bud of the most ravishing flower,

yet to be opened, demanding warmth,

of my unconditional motherly love.

Our most cherished relationship,

is ever blissful and happy,

full of brilliant love and attention,

even now, when he has grown up,

and became a responsible adult.

For a special day of his birth,

which I deeply adore within,

the core of my heart so dearly,

I clearly state that he is the gift,

most precious in my whole life,

to which I dedicated my energy,

and emotions so extensively.

My son is a blessing that has,

opened my being in the right direction,

so that my life becomes truly elevated,

selflessly giving all that I had.

Truly divine joy and fulfillment,

came to my door when he had begotten,

what a wonderful gift of having a child.
