                                                             A mother’s love is like a circle, it has no beginning and no ending.

                                                                           It keeps going around and around, ever expanding,

                                                                              Touching everyone who comes in contact with it.

                                                                                          Engulfing them like a morning mist,

                                                                                          Warming them like a noontime sun,

                                                                                  and covering them like a blanket of evening stars.
