When I became a mother
Something was birthed in me
The power to love another one
So unconditionally
When I became a mother
My heart just grew and grew
It multiplied and magnified
And flowed with love for you.
When I became a mother
Part of my heart left me
And went to live within the child
Who once lived within me
When I became a mother
I never thought I'd see
Growing before my very eyes
Ones, I wish I could be
And now that I'm a mother
It melts me through and through
To hear my sons, say these few words
"I want to be like you"
And now that I'm a mother
My prayer will always be
Son be a better, greater, wiser,
Reflection of me.
Dear Elliot and Ethan...thank you.
