I received this from a cousin of mine and I want to share this with all Moms that read this. The poem made me cry and laugh. Happy Mothers Day to all Moms.
Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations
Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt..
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom..
Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body..
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay..
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom .
May you always be overwhelmed by the Grace of God rather than by the cares of life

Good Morning Joyce,
"HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY". I enjoyed reading the Before I was a Mother. "THANK YOU" For sharing it with us. I fianlly put up a new post this morning. I seem to be doing more of the Facebook than blogging these days. Don't know why tho. Take care my friend and have a great Mother's Day. May GOD Bless you and yours.
Love,
Karen H.
I had read that piece about moms before -- and it's worth reading over and over again. Thanks for sharing it.
I also did a tribute but it was just to my mom this time.
