Those days of wonder, so long overdue
when all I wanted to do was stare at you
and know that as you lay in my arms fast asleep,
you were finally here – and this time, for me to keep –
even for a brief moment before the years go by,
before Time takes me away from you with barely a sigh
you sleep on and even laugh in your dreams,
dragging me away from the ragged seams
of the life I once knew, the way I used to see it,
tempting me away from the darkness, bit by bit.
So sleep on, my darling, my tiny bundle of salvation,
you’ve made me a mother, and for this moment –
it’s my only vocation.

What a lovely poem and perfect picture to match it.
Thank you 🙂
my pleasure 🙂
Lovely. Just the way I imagine it to be. 🙂
Thanks, Marie 🙂
It is lovely – that I can say for sure.
Since I never had a child, I can only relate through my niece. She was the closest that I will ever get to my child and I understand the feeling.
WOW! How absolutely lovely. Only a mother can know the joys of motherhood, but this poem makes it clear to all 🙂
Thank you 🙂
You are very welcome.
My mother and I are very close so this really helps me look at her in a different aspect. This is Awesome.
Thank you so much for enjoying my little poem! I completely forgot about this and I just came from my son’s IEP meeting at school and what a reminder! So thank you 🙂
