Beautiful Chaos

I was told I’d lose my sanity and myself.

I was told my body would change.

And so would my bank balance.

I was told my life would change.

But they forgot to tell me I would change.

And I did.

In the best way.

Because of you.

Maybe they were saving the best for last.

My Everything

I want to tell you everything I know,

carry you and guide you.

Yet somehow,

as your tiny finger points to things in wonder

and your eyes meet mine,

the paradigm shifts.

I once thought I was to show you the world,

when all along you came to show me.

Not 'Just'

You are not ‘just’ anything

Not just a woman

Or just a friend

A wife

A partner

Or just a mother

You are a universe

Made up of waves that brought life

Stars that hold dreams

Landscapes of home

Rocks that will crumble but will always remain

The wind’s gentle sway, and strongest roar

You are someone’s ‘all’

And ‘all’ is not lost

You are a mother

But never, just.
