Mom

MY LIFE AS I KNEW IT
WAS ABOUT TO END
MY LIFE AS A MOM
WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN
WHAT IS A MOM
I THOUGHT I KNEW
I HAD NO IDEA
NOT EVEN A CLUE
I NEVER KNEW HOW HARD
IT WOULD BE
IT WAS THE HARDEST THING
IN LIFE FOR ME
I'VE BEEN A MOM
FOR A LOT OF YEARS
THERE WERE SO SO
MANY TEARS
EVERY TEAR CAME
WITH A SMILE
SO BEING A MOM
IS VERY WORTHWHILE
