Wonderful peom for Mommy's

[Guest guest]

Before I was a Mom

I made and ate hot meals, I had unstained clothing & I had 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 everyday.

Before I was Mom

I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot

words to lullabies.

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, Peed on Or

pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom I had complete control of:

My thoughts My body And my mind & I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom

I never held down a screaming child so that doctors 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 him or

her 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 wonderfulness Or the satisfaction of being a

Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a

Mom.
