Did I do you right today?
Did I love you enough? Did I enrich your developing brain? Or did I get caught up in 'stuff'? Did I spend too much time Dusting and sweeping the floor? With a list of chores to complete Before Daddy walks through the door? I should have put down the mop Thrown caution to the rubble I shouldn't have wasted a second That I could have spent giving you cuddles Tomorrow you'll be older This time will be lost forever Tomorrow, will I be wondering If, today, I could have done better? And will tomorrow be different Or, again, will I succumb To daily routines that steal my focus From being a doting mum? ~Eventual Mother~ ![]() I know you look quite different now From what you were before But, though you've given up some things You've given me so much more I know that your tummy Once trim and somewhat firm Is now squidgy and stretched But there's something you should learn I know those giant boobs Make your tops not sit quite right But there is something very important I'd like to tell you tonight I know your eyes sport bags now Where once eye shadow glowed But, please, mummy listen There's something you should know That tummy changed when you grew me And now it's the perfect place To sit and cuddle up Whilst gazing at your face Those boobs that stretch your clothes Are something oh so good They give us bonding moments And nourish me with food Those eyes that look so tired Are that way because Last night we sat together Just me and you, just us So don't be sad that your body is different Don't let it make you glum That body made me your baby And it made you my mum ~The Eventual Mother~ I remember the amazing day I found out I was carrying you The day I saw your heart flickering on screen The day I heard it for the first time; wow, what a sound I remember watching my tummy grow for 9 beautiful months I remember the sickness, the excitement, the nerves The countdown, the questions and the wondering I remember that magical day when I met you When I stared in to your eyes, mesmerised Held you to me, your tiny body taking up such a small space I remember the first time you cried The first time you smiled The first time you laughed I remember the fascination on your face as you discovered your hands The surprise when you first rolled over The way you would gaze up at me I remember when we first read together First sang together First danced together I remember these things so vividly, so clearly, so fondly These were the most important moments of my life The most amazing moments of my life These are the moments I cherish...and you won't remember a thing This time of your life will form the foundation, but the memories will pass you by It will be some time before you begin to hold on to your experiences All these incredible moments will fall away from your mind and become mine alone You'll remember the stories, the frequent retellings of times gone by You'll feel like you remember the moments as you will imagine them when I share But these memories will be lost to you These beautiful memories, the times I cherish, and you won't remember a thing I hope you enjoyed reading this, please feel free to share x |
