Love me
Like a sudden death
Like a first breath
With sulphur and sparks
Attack me with your love
Bite me, maul me, smother me
Like a dangerous starving bear
Leave your love on my skin
Like the rain does to island cliffs
I am a woman lost to the world
Lonely and tired
So be one with me
And let me posess your heart
Like carvings on a stone

My bump
My blessing
A gift so divine
Sent by God, to be mine
I love you with my whole heart
You and me we're never apart
Before I even met you
I loved you more than words could say
Every single day
In every single way
With each flutter and kick
I dreamt a life
Of joy and cheer
Of teaching you right from wrong
Helping you grow up strong
I'll hold your hand, wipe your tears
I'll be with you through laughs and fears
The day finally came
I lay in a bed of emotions
Heavy and dense
I cried and screamed
I gasped and clenched
With one final tear and rip
Out you came, along with a river of blood
You lay on my chest
And my heart became a flood
I wept at how perfect you were
It was so intense
But too soon I was swept away
To be stitched back up
All trauma was kept at bay
After the birth, the joy and the pain
Came the aftermath, a whole new terrain
The body healing, the mind adjusting
To the role of motherhood, encompassing
We came home and life as a family began
You were the first
And I didn't have a clue or plan
The days were filled with highs and lows
And sometimes a climb
Finding my footing and figuring it out
Trying to feel whole again, without a doubt
I thought motherhood would be bliss
But instead, I feel like I've been dismissed
From the life I once knew
Leaving me feeling lost, confused
The weight of responsibility
Crushes me
Leaves me with anxiety
Some days I'm struggling
Feeling blue
But every day, I want the best for you
It's a transition
This postpartum life
One that takes time
And some inner strife
But it's worth it, oh how it is
To hold my sweet baby, and be his

I wrote code for love,
a program to find,
the one my heart dreams of,
the love that's one of a kind.

I searched through lines of code,
for a match that was true,
and finally, I found it,
a love that was brand new.

I debugged all my errors,
and tested every line,
until my code for love,
was running just fine.

Now I have found,
the love I've been seeking,
a love that's bound,
to keep my heart beating.

So here's to the code I wrote,
for the love that I've found,
a love that will always float,
above all else, unbound.

To the housewife,
the unsung hero of the home,
always busy, never alone.

Your work is never done,
yet you wear a smile, not a moan.
Your love and care is second to none,
as you tend to everyone.

You juggle a million tasks,
with grace and poise, no need to ask.
You are the glue that holds it all together,
through sunny days and stormy weather.

Your worth cannot be measured,
in dollars or possessions,
for it is immeasurable,
in the love and affection you impart to all.

So here's to the housewife,
the heart of the home,
forever loved and admired,
never left alone.

To my dear husband,
the love of my life,
you make everything right,
in times of joy and strife.

You are my rock, my anchor,
the one I can always turn to.
Your love is my greatest treasure,
a love that is true and true.

You make every day brighter,
with your smile and your charm.
I am grateful for your love,
that keeps me safe and warm.

You are my partner, my friend,
the one I can always depend on.
I am lucky to have you,
my best husband, the one I adore.

Here's to many more years,
of love, laughter, and cheer.
I am blessed to have you by my side,
forever and always, as my guide.
