In a Mother’s Eyes

  It is said that a child is born with a bond to their mother. With each passing day this bond grows deeper and stronger. As a mother myself, I can relate. I remember fondly holding each of my children, sharing long gazes at one another. A feeling of pure contentment would flow through me. These are some of my most precious memories. They will stay alive in my heart always. Every mother must feel this, right? Unfortunately, not all do.

  I am writing this merely to express my heartache for these children whom we lose everyday. Babies being left in dumpsters or local bathrooms. Toddlers being murdered simply because their mother decided she wanted to party or get high. What is this world coming to when we see countless examples of mothers killing or abandoning their babies. No matter what the age they are still our babies. The thought of hurting a being that has shared your body and soul is beyond me. When I see one of my children in pain I literally ache with them. Is this not a common emotion for a mother? Most of the mothers I know share in this love. They understand that protectiong your child is the primal instinct. So why are we burying so many of our children after a parent has seen fit to end a small life? Is this what our society has become? We now have to protect the world’s children from the very ones who gave them life. It is a sad day when that question must be asked. I look at my children and fall more in love with them each moment of their lives. My only prayer is that each child in the world could experience that love at some point. It is a love that only a mother can give.
