I Will be a wonderful Mother ~ Author Unknown


There are women who become mothers without effort, without thought, without patience or loss, and though they are good mothers and love their children, I know that I will be better.


I will be better not because of genetics or money or because I have read more books, but because I have struggled and toiled for this child.


I have longed and waited. I have cried and prayed. I have endured and planned over and over again. Like most things in life, the people who truly have appreciation are those who have struggled to attain their dreams.


I will notice everything about my child. I will take time to watch my child sleep, explore, and discover. I will marvel at this miracle every day for the rest of my life.


I will be happy when I wake in the middle of the night to the sound of my child, knowing that I can comfort, hold, and feed him and that I am not waking to take another temperature, pop another pill, take another shot or cry tears of a broken dream. My dream will be crying for me.


I count myself lucky in this sense, that God has given me this insight, this special vision with which I will look upon my child, I will not be careless with my love.


I will be a better mother for all that I have endured.


YES, I WILL BE A WONDERFUL MOTHER...
