Motherhood

Wrinkled and wet you were when we first met
You were bidding the world hello
A great gift from above, perfectly made
So much joy you have brought to my life

A new mother I am, with new feelings of love
A love that is new, pure and sublime.
Never before have my instincts been so in tune
To protect you so fiercely from all harm.

The much dreaded birth pains have already been forgotten
Replaced by a nurturing cry
We welcome your arrival ' your daddy and I '
Our first-born, new parents,
To our son, much love.
