Love is defined as the feeling of deep affection

I define it as memories connecting to create something meaningful 

Something that interlocks the heart and the mind together

Just like a stranger is just a stranger 

a person you love is just a person that you accept for all the flaws and imperfections 

Love can mean many things and can form in many ways

Love is the bond between a mother and her child 

Love is the connection between friends 

Or the affection you feel for someone 

And although the bonds of love can be broken 

One that is hardest to break is the love between a parent and their child

A parent that loves their child unconditionally

From watching them open their eyes for the first time 

To take their first steps

Saying their first words “mama, papa”

Running, talking, laughing, crying, 

Watching them grow,

And when you look at them you think where have the years gone

Just yesterday you took your first step and now you’re leaving me

Just yesterday  I watched you make your first friend 

Just yesterday I bought you your first bra

Just yesterday…….
