It's okay momma. ๐โค
Iโm the last.
Iโm the last to have breakfast,
To get myself dressed,
To brush my teeth.
And Iโm the last to get out the door,
To buy something for myself,
To sit down for a moment.
And Iโm the last to have a shower,
To turn off the lights,
To fall asleep every night.
But Iโm also the first.
The first they run to when theyโre excited,
The first they cry for when theyโre upset,
The first they come to for everything.
So I may come last because they come first,
But I also come first because I am their first,
And itโs just nice to remember that some days.
This is mothering. You are seen, known, cherished, treasured, needed, appreciated, and so dearly loved. Keep being last because you know you are their first.๐ฅฐ
