Before I was a mom
I never tripped over toys.
Or Google words to lullabies and nursery rhymes.
Before I was a mom,
I’ve never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Or Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
And if I chose to, I slept all day and night and then ate ramen noodles for dinner.
Before I was a mom
I never held down a screaming child
So doctors can run a few more tests
And then have hot tears run down my eyes while watching my child writhing
Before I was a mom
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartaches, the wonderment
Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much!
