It's a simile, Bob.

I always thought that to mean a love of a young child for his/her parent....an unconditional, unquestioning natural love for their parents...a belief that they will always be there for protection, comfort, forgiveness, and love....

It is quite beautiful...and one of my favorite teachings from Christ....
