Birth

Birth
Brings joy
Along with
Complete fatigue
You are filled with wonder
By this new life you created
As you hold your precious child in your arms
Your eyes fill-up with tears, because you have been blessed
With God's amazing gift of motherhood
You sing a lullaby so sweet
And slumber peacefully
Your lives were changed
At the time
You gave
Birth
