Love Poem: Motherhood

Written by: Cecilia Macfarlane

Motherhood

A newborn is placed….
tenderly in your arms
Instantly you are mesmerized….
by their sweet charms
The intense pain of birth….
instantly melts away
Replaced by euphoria….
that is hard to keep at bay
Blessed to behold….
one of life’s greatest treasures
Nothing before now….
compares or measures
Your priorities have shifted….
in a subtle natural way
Unspoken promise to….
cherish and protect every day
A brand new human….
that you will shape and guide
A new mother you have become….
fills you with joyous pride
