Your Egypt

[Eastern girl]

I've got this poem and i liked it, thought to share it with u :)

Before I was a Mom

Before I was a mom 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,

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

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

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I

didn't want to put them 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.
