Short Poems for a New Mother
Table of Contents
Sleepless Nights
Quiet hush of the night,
Baby's cries, a tender light.
Rocking gently, lullabies,
Under starlit, sleepy skies.
Eyes are heavy, yet you smile,
Love makes every hour worthwhile.
Tiny hands that clutch so tight,
Moments fleeting, pure delight.
Midnight feedings, soft and slow,
Through the fatigue, love will grow.
Every tear and every yawn,
Binds you both till break of dawn.
Though you're weary, love's so strong,
In these nights where you belong.
Holding close, the world so small,
Motherhood's most precious call.
