Before I was a Mom
I made & ate hot meals
I had unstained clothing
I had quiet conversations on the phoneBefore I was a Mom
I slept as late as I wanted
& never worried about how late I got into bed
I brushed my hair & my teeth everydayBefore I was a Mom
I cleaned my house each day
I never tripped over toys
or forgot the words to lullabiesBefore I was a Mom
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous
I never thought about immunizationsBefore I was a Mom
I had never been puked on
Pooped on
Spit on
Chewed on
Peed on
Or pinched by tiny fingersBefore I was a Mom
I had complete control of my mind
My thoughts
My body
& I slept all night & got plenty of restBefore I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child
So that doctors could do tests or give shots
I never looked into teary eyes & cried
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleepBefore I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn't stop the hurt
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much
I never knew that I could love someone so much
I never knew what love at first sight really meant
I never knew I would love being a MomBefore I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby
I didn't know that bond between a mother & her child
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important
Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
Every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay
I had never known the warmth
The joy
The love
The heartache
The wonderment
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much
Before I was a Mom
