Welcome to Motherhood
Motherhood—a journey unlike any other,
a transformation forever unfolding.
Once you join this sacred circle,
you’ll never be the same.
Keep your eyes and heart wide open,
savor moments as they come –
baby socks still warm from tiny toes,
a smelly shirt from endless spit-ups.
Joy, love, frustration—embrace them all
for they shape the tapestry of your story.
Learn from your baby; see the world anew
through fresh eyes untainted by expectation,
unmarked by the weight of culture or standards.
In their innocence lies wisdom waiting to bloom.
Be gentle with yourself on stormy days
when exhaustion pulls you to the edge.
Trust your instincts.
Perfection?
It’s a myth.
Strength comes in seeking help.
Gently brush aside
unsolicited advice, which
does not speak to your heart.
Welcome, Sweetie.
Welcome to Motherhood.
