Sweet Mom

You leaped for joy
when you found out that you were expecting,
They say that you carried me for 40 weeks,
I was nourished through the umbilical cord,
I don't understand it, but I accept it,
You watched me grow from embryo,foetus to a baby,
got excited every time you looked at me on the monitor
and see my tiny little bones slowly shaping,
I made you sick at times
I could hear your nocturne tears
and feel your pain when you couldn't hold anything down...
I took some of your beauty away at times,
your silhouette lost of its curves as i got bigger....
You still were not ashamed of me
you still would smile as you looked in the mirror
and rubbed your belly with pride.
Then you started glowing as the dates got closer
and you would be day dreaming as you stared at the layettes and the rattles
and from within your heart you would start humming baby songs.....
Then came the big day
when I got evicted from my cozy space,
to a cold and noisy place
I came out screaming
and there, so many unfamiliar faces around me,
that for the first time I was afraid,
who gonna nourish me now,
who gonna protect me now,
where is my warm blanket of love,
But my fear vanished very soon
when you held me against your heart,
eventhough I was dripping wet,
you kissed me on the forehead and
when I looked into your eyes,
I saw so much love,promises and hope,
I knew then who you were
You were "Mom" and I knew then that I was gonna be Fine!
You could have got rid of me
but you held on to Me
as a gift from above
and I thank you for that.
Thank you for bringing me to the World
And I vow to cherish you as long as I have the breath of life,
I love you Sweet Mom.
