Motherhood: A Lesson in Change

You came into my life
on a dark rainy night
shifted my perspective
altered my sight

My world had existed
on a simple plane
revolving just around me
yeah, I was pretty vain.

Then you - my tiny package
in your green baby sling
arrived kicking and screaming.
Calmly I would sing

            "Jesus loves me this I know
             For the Bible tells me so"

over and over
my voice a thin line
breaking down walls
making you mine.

The world slowly opened
and swallowed me whole.
Forever altered
by one little soul.
