I penned "In Awe of You" to capture my journey into motherhood, expressing the love, anticipation, and awe that came with carrying and meeting my little one. As a first-time mother, I was overwhelmed by the bond between mother and child, feeling the connection from the first kick in the womb to the magical moment I held my son in my arms. I wrote this timeless piece to immortalise my feelings and the moment I first saw my son. Moreover, this poem also encompasses a love only a mother can feel—a love that grows stronger with each passing day.
Through my own experience, I've come to realise how important it is to read uplifting messages during pregnancy and afterward to support mental health during this transformative time. I hope this poem provides pregnant mothers, mothers who have just given birth, or mamas in general with a source of positive motivation. Reading motivational quotes and heartfelt pieces was essential for my mental well-being throughout my pregnancy and the postnatal period. Soulful words always left me feeling uplifted, motivated, and helped me bond more deeply with my baby. I hope this poem touches your heart and leaves you feeling emotionally elevated.
In Awe of you
There was a time our hearts beat as one,
For your life beneath my own had begun.
A bond unseen had seamlessly spun,
Illuminating my soul like the rising sun.
I dreamt of you for a long while,
Anticipation etched in every smile.
In nine months, an eternity passed,
With every kick, my love unsurpassed.
I waited for you, with hopes held fast,
To hold you close, my joy at last.
Unbeknownst, your wee soul graced the earth,
Timeless magic, your wondrous birth.
In that moment, my world undone,
By the beauty of thy face, my son.
The fabled love at first glance,
Left me in a spellbinding trance.
Thy tiny hand placed in mine,
A love so pure, almost divine.
I gazed at the moon and basked in its light,
Vowed to protect you with all my might.
For you, I would move heaven and earth,
A promise sworn for all its worth.
Never doubt a mother's endless love,
A force unyielding, blessed from above.
My Thoughts
I had always anticipated being a mother, but nothing could have prepared me for the moment I first held my son. It was the dawning of a new era that gave my life a deeper purpose. Motherhood—an unbreakable bond between mother and child—is a transformative journey, full of emotional highs and deep love. As a first-time mother, I felt an indescribable connection to my son, even before he was born. This poem is my way of expressing the joy and anticipation I faced in the months leading up to his birth—from every flutter, every kick, to the miraculous moment of holding him in my arms—a moment forever etched in my soul.
The journey of motherhood is unique and ethereal. A mother’s love is both timeless and eternal. I hope this poem speaks to those who have experienced this powerful bond and to those who are about to embark on the beautiful journey of becoming a mother.
