Beauty and simplicity
compassion and love
These you were created
Thankful that you are
Some decided to be
Some tried as they can
The ultimate decision
Only comes from One

You gave up your self
for another to form
heartbeat you share
with another soul
You welcome the pain,
As you carried a being
giving up your comfort
making your body a safe haven
Laughing one moment
in a split second, tears fall
One day you are high
and then you are low
It must be confusing
when things are uncertain
but with arms wide open
you welcomed them all
Composure and confidence
Now filled with anxiety
A plethora of mixed emotions,
happiness and fear
Everything is changing
it is fearful I’m sure
but with grace you carried them
full of the love of the unknown
Uncertain about everything
but somehow anticipating
for that day to arrive
when you finally meet
Oh, this beautiful baby
so many adore
many don’t understand
the sacrifices of them all

To endure such pain
is simply a beauty
to be called a mother
is the reward of it all
