I ate hot meals, I brushed my teeth day and night, I spent long hours on the mobile with friends, I wore well laundered clothings, Not a single crease or a stain on them, Before motherhood. My home was ***** and span, No stumbling on scattered toys, No ***** window panes, No tiny hands holding my skirts, No one  eagerly waiting for me on the doorsteps, No spits,pukes, pees or poos to clean, No teared  eyes to wipe, No tiny bundle to hold in my arms, Getting love,warmth and satisfaction in return, Before motherhood. I was in control of myself, Of my mind and thoughts, Caretaker of my own body, Spending hours to enhance my beauty, To maintain grace and elegance, Before motherhood. Now I am a mum, I don't mind if my hair is disheveled, My house is a bit messy, I am exhausted, For the reward of a hug, a kiss and those endearing words,"I love you mum,you are the bestest." completes me.

Before Motherhood
I ate hot meals, I brushed my teeth day and night, I spent long hours on the mobile with friends, I wore well laundered clothings, Not a single crease or a stain on them, Before motherhood. My home was ***** and span, No stumbling on scattered toys, No ***** window panes, No tiny hands holding my skirts, No one  eagerly waiting for me on the doorsteps, No spits,pukes, pees or poos to clean, No teared  eyes to wipe, No tiny bundle to hold in my arms, Getting love,warmth and satisfaction in return, Before motherhood. I was in control of myself, Of my mind and thoughts, Caretaker of my own body, Spending hours to enhance my beauty, To maintain grace and elegance, Before motherhood. Now I am a mum, I don't mind if my hair is disheveled, My house is a bit messy, I am exhausted, For the reward of a hug, a kiss and those endearing words,"I love you mum,you are the bestest." completes me.
