A Mother’s Poem

by me

Pitch black

Early morning

I scoop you up

And rock you close to me

You rest your head

And clutch your little

Fingers

You are you, and

You are me

And I am forever

Your mom

.

Happy five months of life to my sweet baby boy. You are full of so much joy, laughter, and gummy smiles. But somehow my favorite moments are when I nurse you back to sleep in the middle of the night as you cling on to me.

You light up daddy’s and my world. I love you forever, sweetie.

xx

Mommy
