Did you know that every night while you are sleeping,
I come and sit next to you and make sure
you're tucked in your blanket,
that you're still breathing and well,
and to give you many gentle kisses?
That I just can't stop starring at you
in awe at how beautiful and angelic you look?
That I am so thrilled and amazed that I am your mother.
That even on those days when I can't wait
until you boys are in bed
so I can have some peace and quiet, as soon as you fall asleep
I start missing you and wish you were awake to play with me?
That I make a promise to God
that I'll be a better mother tomorrow than I was today?
