Beforeword: The Dectina Refrain form is used to describe my mom’s love. My mother’s love is heroic in the way she fights for and defends her children.
My
Mom’s love—
Heroic
Fearless and kind
From her heart she gives
Unconditionally
Defender, supporter, friend
I know on her I can depend
If God gave me choice I would still choose
My mom’s love—heroic, fearless and kind
Afterword: This poem contributes to W3 Prompt #210 hosted by the Skeptic’s Kaddish where this week I’m the Poet of the Week!

Heroic love doesn’t seek to protect its interest, it rises up every day with the intention, to defend what only selfless love can achieve. Blessings to you both! 😊✌🏾✨
