Sometimes when you cry I find it threatening
Sometimes when I can’t comfort you I feel a failure
Other times I understand and am calm
Other times I understand and am calm
Other times I know you’re anguish is not my fault
Sometimes when I can’t stop your pain it hurts me so much I panic
Sometimes when you need me most I want to run away
Other times I gather you up in a cuddle and cocoon you
Other times I know what you want
even before you do Sometimes when your tiredness turns to groans it’s easier to get angry than put you to bed
Sometimes when you’re hysterical I leave you alone because my tension makes you worse
Other times I listen until I understand your new words
Other times I
read and play and run and jump for hours and hours
Sometimes you’ll be doing nothing wrong, and I’ll assume the worst
Sometimes you'll be talking and I'll be distracted by doing, going, achieving
Other times I'll be patient and hear every word
Other times I'll explain why, as you deserve to understand the course of your own life
Sometimes you're innocent and I'm damaged
Sometimes I’m a two year old too and barely manage
 |
| What I didn't know then was that birth is the least shocking part of Motherhood |
All the time I love you so much it hurts and I know I fail you sometimes, but I’m working so hard at being the grown up more times so I can always be your trusted guide, your calm in the storm and the one person that will never question the validity of you.
