The world sighs softly as I enter a doorway
The words above read “motherhood”
My daughter looks up at me inquisitively, with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen
I know that nothing will ever compare to the tiny face looking up at me
After months of preparation, hours of labour
My heart exists outside of my body now
In a moment, after one final push
Everything has changed
