| For all the Moms and Grandmas.... 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.
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.
I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or learned words to lullabies.
I didn't worry whether my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. I had never been puked on, pooped on, Spit on, chewed on, peed on, Or pinched by tiny fingers I had complete control of My thoughts, my body, and my mind. I slept all night.
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.
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.
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 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 wonder, Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
Now I Know How You Felt! I Love You Mom! And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mom" feelings more than doubled when you see that little bundle being held by "your baby"... | |
