“If only my baby can stay
little. Here on my lap, he sits
engaging me in his childish play,”
dreams a mother half out of her wits
by her kids who would throw fits
once and again. “What a comedy,”
she might say after the moment flits
by. Right now all’s a tragedy
to her baggy, sleep deprived eyes,
when she could hardly think smart
thoughts while she suppresses the cry
of frustration rising in her heart.
Yet she knows however much she’d moan
her maternal love is set in stone.

So true are your words…and to think it will only be days or hours when this precious time with a newborn (which certainly can be taxing) will begin again with me, but as you said…a mother’s love is set in stone.
Thank you and congratulations!! What an exciting time for you. I pray for your healthy and happy delivery. 🙂
