Unconditional Love for her Boy

Bolts of pain
Shooting through her body
Everytime she moves or walks

She pulls herself up
With all the strength she can muster

Walking lame
But always confident and sure

Every step is with purpose
For a cause
For her boy

He is weeping
Out of control
At the other side of the house

She hears his cry
Lost and in need
The need for comfort
For her

She gets to the edge of the stairs

Steps cause great pain
But the dire need to help her boy
Pushes her forward

Decending down
She stumbles

Flipping over herself
She lands in a heap at the bottom

Again she hears the boy's cries
Forlorn and distraught

Picking herself up
Not thinking about the pain that surges through her entirety

She hobbled across
To her boy

Going unnoticed
Moves closer

At the boy's side now
She lays down
As he spots her

No sooner had he seen
She kissed him

licking his tears
Willing them to be gone

He smiles sorrowfully at her
Knowing that she cares

He burrows deep into her hide
And is lost in her fur

Finally
His voice is found

They know its unneeded
But he whispers
Of love and affection
So soft
That is only hers to hear
