Being a Mom

I always wanted to be a mom. 

I knew I would put all my energy into it. 

I knew they would be my everything. 

A whirlwind later, I made it seemingly to the other side.

They said to sleep more.

They said it would be hard.

I didn’t know how hard.

They didn’t lie. 

To every pregnant person,

To every mother, every father,

You are my everyday heroes. 

To my mother and father, 

You have my endless love.
