“Motherhood”

Baby Kae

No one really can prepare you. I thought I was ready, but no one is really ready to be responsible for another human being every single day. I am beyond blessed by her grace and ability to teach me something new every step of the way.

I didn’t know what it was like to be a mother 

They say it is a title unlike any other

I wasn’t sure that was true

Until I heard your voice and laid eyes on you

The world was suddenly not about me

But something more than I could’ve dreamed 

This brown eyed beauty I call sweet pea

Gave me hope, joy and lots of responsibility 

Her creative mind leaves me amazed

And athletic endurance goes for days 

But it’s her tender heart I cherish most

For it’s a gift not many people can boast 

She loves me through all my mistakes

Holds my hand and gives me grace

I don’t know how I will ever repay her

For teaching me how to be braver

She is really becoming her own person

And w/ God at her side she is the best version 

So even though she gets bigger every day

She will forever be my Baby Kae
