How Does It Feel To Have Children
How does it feel to have children?
It feels insanely crazy sometimes, but it also feels blissful.
For five years you do not get to go to the bathroom by yourself.
Because a child is poking fingers under the door and sobbing,
wanting desperately to be with you.
Because you are their world.
You are their hero.
Their rock.
Their safe place.
They are your pride.
Your joy. Your heart.
It feels blissful, joyful, and humble.
Sometimes you think you cannot bear how tired you are,
Then you see their little faces, and you hear them snore
And you know you can wash one more load of clothes.
They can wear you out but they can also bring you up
Fast and hard with giggles no one else has ever heard.
They are your world, and you are theirs.
There is nothing like a child. Two is better. Six, a dream.
How does it feel to have children? It feels complete.
It feels warm. It feels kissable and huggable.
It feels right.
