Motherhood

Miracles of miracles is motherhood How a woman transforms...i... into a mother is never understood I remember I wasn't yet twenty In my womb I had my first baby All through my pregnancy I asked myself How would it feel to be a mother?? Would I be a good mother?? Tried to imagine the feelings but couldn't imagine With all these questions, nightmares and dreams weight gains and labour pains That day came Someone placed my child in my lap I looked at her She was a tiny mess so restless For the first three nights not for a second she slept Tired and exhausted I longed for a nap My feelings went numb I asked myself Do I love her?? Am I her mother?? Something happened the fourth day My baby wasn't well My mom panicked rushed her to the doc who admitted her for one night Left alone I was in my home Tried i hard to sleep but instead of sleep tears filled my eyes Worried I was for my little bundle I prayed for the whole night I realized I could bear 100 sleepless nights with her but not for a second could I live without her With the first stroke of dawn I rushed to my baby There she was in a cradle I stooped to look at her She looked at me with a tiny smile Tears filled my eyes Love and emotions flushed my heart and soul There and then I told myself YES,I AM A MOTHER NOW SURELY, I AM A MOTHER NOW
