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.
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 him 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.

that is beautiful lynn. hugs to you love donna

:) yes, that was wonderful lynn. :)

Now I didn't write that poem, so don't want to take credit for it...did write this little thing:

Most young girls want to be a mother



It is a job that is like no other



Until you become one, you don't know what it brings



The emotions, responsibilities, and other millions of things



You experience the triumphs, the defeats, along with the sorrow



Wondering if you are going to make it tomorrow



You receive immense smiles, hugs, and love



You thank God for these from up above



You learn from them things you did not know



Amazed at the time and how much they grow



You are filled to the brim with an overpowering love



Knowing one day you must release them like a dove.



So when you are worried, upset, don't get down



Can you imagine your life without them around?
