A Mother's Love

I have heard all my life about the love a mother has for a child. I have had it described and been told it can't be put into words. I have been told so many things. The one common thing I was told was that I would understand when I had my own children. I used to scoff at the idea and assumed that it was much like the love someone could have for another in general. I sit here in awe now at my ignorance. I understand now what cannot be described or put into words at all. I sit here and look at my beautiful baby girl and want to cry from the love I feel for her. I would do anything for her and I wonder if I will do right by her. I will do my best and have to hope that is enough. I watch her sleep and wonder how something so wonderful was made by me and my husband. I love my child.
