Hi everyone, just wanted to share the poem I wrote after returning from maternity leave x really makes these moments all the more precious!
These moments are ours and ours alone
Morning noon and night
Our tree of life grows each day
By sunshine and moonlight
In the dark, while the whole world sleeps
I hold my baby near
His body grows heavy upon my arm
And I've nowhere to be but here
When the day dawns I'm here again
Back in my favourite place
I know each hair, each eyelash
As I gaze upon his face
And later on even after he's fed
He nestles his heart close to mine
Because this is not only about milk
This is our bonding time
For in a world that's changing
With new skills to master each day
I will be his anchor
There each step of the way
So in his busy schedule
of throwing food on the floor
Or every time my back is turned
crawling out through the door,
This is our time to be still,
to cuddle up together
His eyes look up with complete trust
And I tell him I'll love him forever
This is what I was made for
So yes I might be late
Because right now I'm feeding my baby
And everything else can wait
