So you think you are ready to walk the line
Of motherhood and nursery rhymes.
Your baby grows but won’t remember
How carefully you eased those first few whimpers.
Your nerves will break and patience shatter,
As your darling child begins to chatter.
But a payment of love is priceless indeed
Like the times they hide behind mom's knees.
Then one day as you clean their room
A letter of love that rings the doom
This child no more, has become a teen
And mom is no longer the reigning queen.
One day your child will walk to the altar
Your body shake and mind will falter.
Your child walks into a new life today
Your old life now seems to fade away.
But then one day as you catch the laugher
Of a little one who loves to chatter
And you cry as loving eyes ask true
"Grandma?"
"Yes child?"
"I love you!"
