writing

Kind of throwing myself out there, but I wrote this last night and thought I'd share.

Motherhood
Motherhood!
Who knew I could?
But here I am --
And it is great!

But time flies past,
They grow so fast!
Baby. Toddler. Child.

One. Two. Three.
How can it be?
Another birthday comes.

Sit, cuddle. Still.
Too soon it will
All have passed you by

"The day is done,
They say goodnight,
And Conrad turns out the light."*
Sweet memories we make

For motherhood, a fleeting good?
No!
A lifetime of great!


I wrote some others, but I think that's the only one I'll share.
