Poem on motherhood
By Abhiroop kaur mann From the first flutter of life, That I felt in my womb, I knew that my world Would never again be the same. From the moment I held you In my arms for the first time, I felt a love so intense That it was almost beyond pain. The sleepless nights, the endless diapers, The first steps, the first words, The triumphs and the tears, All blended into one endless dance. As you grew, so did I, Learning to see the world Through your eyes as well as mine, Learning to be both teacher and student. There were moments of doubt and fear, Of frustration and anger, But they always gave way To a deeper understanding and a greater love. Now you are starting out on your own, And I marvel at the beauty of it all, The wonder of the journey we have taken, And the joy of knowing that I will always be your mother.
