I gave up being the woman I was…

 

I gave up being the woman I was

To become a mom;

No longer enveloped by trends and society

Which, I had followed all along.

 

The peaceful break of dawn with a cup of tea

Gazing out and lost in thoughts about the day

And, all the lists to be done.

The serene shower

And the musical drive to work

With chitter-chatter about movies and what not…

 

But, I gave up being the woman I was

To become a mom;

No longer enveloped by trends and society

Which, I had followed all along.

 

The stress at work

Broken by thoughts of what to eat

Or the outing planned for the eve.

Contemplating a job change

A better opportunity which could work out

And the weight gain I could do without…

 

But, I gave up being the woman I was

To become a mom;

No longer enveloped by trends and society

Which, I had followed all along.

 

            Weekend was an awaited time

With parties, friends and outings

On the move always - without any timings.

Not a movie to be missed

Favourite author’s book to be read

Visit the salon to look thoroughly bred…

 

But, I gave up being the woman I was

To become a mom;

No longer enveloped by trends and society

Which, I had followed all along.

 

Now, all that I am and wish to be

Is for you my Son;

Your Father and I are no longer man-woman,

But, first and foremost your Dad and Mum.
