Mother's Love (My first poem)

MOTHER’S LOVE

The most beautiful thing,

In the world is love

It is pure as the white milk

That comes from a cow

There are many types of love

But the one which is the most

Beautiful is a mother’s love to her child

She cares for him every time

Always on his side

Spending sleepless nights with

Him when he is sick

Cheering him on in his battle of life

Like this there are many types

Of love as pure as the color white

But still I shall never see

A more beautiful one than a mother’s love

 -Elvin J Paul

This was the first poem I ever wrote. Looking back at it now it is a small,typical poem that a kid of that age would have written. My poetry has definitely changed a lot from this poem to now. It doesn't have any deep philosophy like my newer works, but yet I can still look at it today and have a smile about a time when I was more simpler and definitely more innocent.
