Before I was a Mom, I made and ate hot meals I had unstained clothes and quiet conversations on the phone. Before I was a Mom, I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed I brushed my hair and my teeth every day Before I was a Mom, I cleaned my house each day, I never tripped over toys, Or forgot the words to lullabyes Before I was a Mom, I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous, I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on, pooped on, spit on, chewed on or peed on; Had complete control of my mind, my thoughts, I slept all night Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child So a Doctor could do tests or give shots I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night, watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt I never knew that something so small Could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body, I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby, I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child, I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important Before I was a Mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night, Every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay, I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction, of being a Mom, I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, Before I was a Mom |
