Motherhood...
I found a book from my own childhood a few days ago. My daughter actually dug it out of the heap that my mother dumped on us a few visits back. It is a little golden book, Sesame Street by brand titled "I Think That it is Wonderful". As i skimmed through the pages I found a poem:
There Is a Place
There is a place
that's mine alone.
Where I'll go still
when I am grown.
A long road ends
atop a hill,
beneath a tree,
and there I fill
my mind with thoughts
of what might be.
And watch the leaves
sway over me
like waves on some
green, gentle sea.
Reading the words of this poem just really resonated with me and how girls dream of growing up, and having a family of their own. The moment you find out you are expecting suddenly your childhood flashes before your eyes and you immediately return to that place where you once dreamed about your future self, and in that moment it's all complete, calming, assured.
