BEFORE I WAS A MOM

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 every day.
Before I was a Mom - I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. 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. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
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 for 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 and happy.
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 wonderment or the satisfaction of
being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Your poem is a-one in any poet circle
---------------------------------------------
I now know why there's Mother's Day
It is not just a commercial way
to sell a card or two or ten
But to tell ol' mom/mum she's over men |
