There is
No love bigger
No pain deeper
No joy more abundant
No hurt more severe
No smile as sweet
No tears as salty
No laughter as pure
No mourning as raw
No hope as vast
No fear as gripping
No cheering as loud
No devastation as silent
No gift as light
No burden as weighted
No connection as freeing
No soul-tie as anchored
As those which are carried inside the heart of a mother
