Once You Become a Mother

There’s no going back once you become a mother
There’s no unseeing every child as your own
You cannot bandage your aching heart
As you watch a child cry out alone

That second glass of wine don’t taste as good now
And you’ll never sleep soundly again
Local news will keep you up all night
You pray keep my babies safe, please Lord, amen

There’s no going back once you become a mother
In every way it changes you
And you wouldn’t wanna be anyone other
Than the mama your babies made you

Now your body is different, can’t recognize it
Gone are the days when you looked your very best
What was once tight and firm is now tender,
A soft place, a pillow for rest

And you can’t stop smiling when you witness
A child learn something new
And your eyes won’t stay dry when you hear
A mama tell the story of her baby’s first breath

And you won’t think twice to open your arms wide
To hug a child who needs a little extra love
There’s no going back once you’re a mother
And for that I thank God up above

There’s no going back once you become a mother
In every way it changes you
And you wouldn’t wanna be anyone other
Than the mama your babies made you
