It’s the strangest thing
to hold someone you’ve grown.
It starts as a world
that is oh so unknown.
A world full of fear,
yet soaked in pure bliss.
Not a moment nor milestone
do you want to miss.
One day you’re soaring,
almost walking on air.
The next, tears are flowing,
and you’re filled with despair.
The effort it takes
to get up and get out.
Each decision you make,
always laced with such doubt.
We all want our babies
to flourish and thrive,
And so we take a backseat,
sometimes barely survive.
What we need to remember
so that we can succeed:
Our presence and comfort
is all they really need.
