#13: Sweet Bean

Oh, sweet bean

You smell so sweet

Every goo-goo, every ga-ga

Brings a smile to my face

Every moment we embrace

I am reminded to be grateful

You see, sweet bean

I was never expected to be a mother

The doctors told me so

Yet, here you both are

So every snuggle, every cuddle

Melts the frustration of motherhood

It erases the societal pressure of perfection

And reminds me I’m enough

Holding you in my arms

Swaying side to side

Or rocking back and forth

Centres me in the moment

Oh, sweet bean

I’m so lucky to be your mama.
