Motherly Love

Sitting here holding my sleeping baby in my arms,
Feeling so much love in my heart for this little girl,
She is such a beautiful fulfillment in my life,
The joy to my every minute that sustains me.

As I watch her sleep, I think that I am very blessed,
To have such a gift placed in my life for safe keeps,
I cannot even imagine how my life was before she came,
I sit here and ponder on that and I cannot remember.

What did I do with each of my days and how did I get through them?
Did I lay my head down with a feeling of completeness?
No, I do not think I did or I would recognize this overwhelming feeling.
Maybe I was a robot just going through my days to get them done.

Now I know what it's like to be a mother and feel useful,
Now I understand what all those other women were feeling,
And all their stripes they were wearing on their cheeks,
Only those who are mother's can really see them.

I look down at her and I feel the tears coming, and
I let them fall because this feeling of love deserves
To be displayed proudly. I am so blessed to be
your mom, MaLeigha Jane. Mommy loves you little Goober. :)
