I read this and was so grateful, I do not have the same body as I did before kids, but they are worth it. I can really work on me when they are all grown up, because that will happen so fast and I will enjoy today each love, kiss, and smile until then.
Ode to Motherhood
Where did they go -
My beautiful hips,
look at what's left in their place...
Two handles of love
is what they say,
with stretch marks all over the place...
Where are they now
my perky firm breasts,
Oh there they are down there...
Pointing towards my ankles and knees,
hoisted up by the bras that I wear...
What happened to
my lovely smooth thighs,
They're covered in cellulite bulge...
they're thick and they're round
and it can't be from
all of the chocolate that I indulge...
I've said goodbye
to my firm and tight butt,
which is now as flat as a board...
It droops down to there
it hasn't a care
Yet it once seemed to be so adored...
There's no more nails
to paint blood red,
to be admired with many gold rings..
They're cracked and chipped
and broken now
I no longer have time for such things...
But wait, what is that?
It's my third son's first smile,
and look it's because he loves me...
To him I'm the best
and most incredible thing
That his little eyes ever did see...
There will be time later on
once he's all big and grown,
and he's got his own life to live...
For me to be sexy and get it all back
But for now there's so much to give.
