Empty Nest

Tired all the time,
Think I'm going to be sick.
Could it be? Yes!
Positive result on the stick!

Aching knees, tender breasts,
Butterflies in my tummy,
It's growing & kicking,
I'm going to be a mommy!

Colic; Hello, sleepless nights.
You cry if I stop rocking.
We stare, studying each other,
Eyes, intensely locking.

Feedings, diapers, teething,
Oh, what a terrible two,
Favorite words; "No & mine"
Little thumb sucker, how I love you!

Tying shoes, kissing booboos,
Playing hide & seek.
Giving dandelion bouquets,
With a kiss on mommy's...
