My body goes through changes

Stretching to form the life growing inside me

The day comes for you to arrive

Fluids gushing from me

Labor takes twelve hours

Finally, I hold you in my arms

Tears flow down my cheeks at the sight of you

I never knew this love before

Unconditional, Forever

Sleepless nights start now

There's joy in rocking you back to sleep

Hoping I am a good mom

Knowing I'll do anything for you

Those nights fly by

Now, you're dressing yourself

Mismatched socks, pants , and a shirt that don't match

I watch you in awe

Curls bouncing when you run

Those days fly by

Before my eyes, you grow

Too fast for my heart

But, I'll never want to be anything other than your mom
