  Before I Was A Mom 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 was in complete control of my myself 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 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 wonderfulment, Or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom. ~Author Unknown~  |
