"Being A Mother"
On the day that you give birth you think it is a miracle from heaven above,
Then you wonder how such a little person can fill your heart with so much love.
You spend your days and nights watching their every motion,
And every day your heart gets filled with more love and devotion.
You look into their baby eyes and are amazed at what you see,
You sit there and wonder if this is how you used to be.

You are there for their first step and the first thing that they say,
And when their first word is "mommy," it touches your heart in a special way.
You think to yourself how fast time passes by,
And it seems like only yesterday you wiped the first tear from their eye.
You think back on the years of the first time they said they loved you,
And now that they are all grown up you wonder if they still do.
You remember all of the times you were right there by their side,
And how one of the happiest days of your life was when your little girl became a bride.
They have their own life now with children of their own,
And it makes you feel happy that you are there to see how much they have grown.
All of a sudden all these memories are in your head and you wonder why,
Then you realize it is your time to go and you have to say goodbye.
Being a mother, you have learned one simple but meaningful thing,
That nothing in this world can compare to the happiness your child can bring.
