Motherhood means Putting Yourself Last

A Poem about motherhood

I have some uneven nails,

I'm not focused on details.

No proper skincare,

can’t keep up with self-care.

My concern for beauty has been decreasing,

now, all I care about is my daughter breathing.

All I care about is making sure her eyes are gleaming,

and that her smile is beaming.

When I walk into a store,

I look for something that she will adore.

I look for something that will create feelings of elation,

and something that will make her have a beautiful imagination.

Being a mom can sometimes feel stressful,

but it will never make me feel regretful.
