(The "She" refers to mom's in general)
She didn't share
What it was like
To go for days on zero sleep
She couldn't explain
How it would feel
To be a full time/any time/all the time mom
She didn't tell
The joy and pain
That comes in waves in daily things
She couldn't voice
How one would cope
When death lurks by your baby sweet
And looking back I think it's best
For there's no way to understand
Till you have lived through all of it
Yourself
For I'm so glad I didn't know
How sweet it is
To see our baby learn a skill
And I'm so glad I didn't know
The great delight
Of sloppy kisses on my face
Yes I'm so glad I didn't know
How all the pain just fades away
When in my arms I hold our daughter close
Oh I'm so glad I couldn't know
How fulfilled I'd be
To have this gift and great delight
A chance to be
a Mom
