The flow of feelings
Takes over my thoughts.
Sometimes it feels too much
With emotions so strong.
Love.
Fear.
Protectiveness.
Joy.
These all eb and flow
Through my mind
As I think of You.
My beautiful child.
Only you can ignite
Such strong emotions.
To fiercely love you
Every moment of the day.
And to destroy anything
That comes against you.
How crazy it is to be a mom.
But call me crazy!
I don’t want
Anything
Else.
It’s the special time of day
That makes you feel tingly in a way.
It’s the time when everything is still
And there is a break from screams that are so shrill!
It’s the long awaited nap time
Where I can relax and feel sublime!
I love my daughter, so don’t you worry
But she is asleep now, so I better scurry!
It steals away moments of happiness
And replaces it with gloom.
The sunshine seems so much darker
When anxiety is in the room.
We cannot let it control
And fill our hearts with doom.
We must preserve
Until joy starts to bloom.
Time to loose some weight
My healthy journey starts now
Goosbye baby weight!
My pillow is soft
My bed is calling my name
Now off the Dreamland.
Put into words
What holds you down
And you will be free.
I’m a mom to be
My heart is bursting with joy
I am so happy!
**We are so excited that are expecting our first addition to our family!
Just close your sweet eyes
And let sleep wash over you
It is time to Dream
My heart will stay strong
And fight off anxieties
Because I am strong
*Declare this for yourself! You are strong and anxiety will not win!
It wraps tightly around my chest, threatening to overwhelm me.
But I will not let it win!
A feeling of hopelessness follows and I find myself lost in a fog of self pity.
But I will not let it win!
Anxiety threatens my happiness everyday and wants me shrink away in fear.
But I will not let it win!
Yet, through the darkness I emerge stronger and more courageous than before,
Because I did not let it win.
