Motherhood

For 9 long months i carried you

Waiting for the day i could hold you in my arms

My body grew, my skin stretched

I had aches and pains and strange cravings

But it was all worth it

You said hello to the world

And i was amazed by your beauty

And overwhelmed by my love for you

I had sleep deprivation

My house never stayed tidy

And I often questioned if i was doing anything right

But it was all worth it

Yes, my body changed

But it created life and that's amazing

Instead of sleep I had cuddles

And instead of a house I had a home
