One day at a time

In the stillness of the night

Is the only time I’ve got 

To be with myself

To write, to think, to read

Little things that somehow,

Had been so very rare at this moment.

Life’s been hectic lately,

with the baby and everything.

Many happy things and sad things 

come & go. They come, then they go.

Yet motherhood bring the best in me, 

I suppose. Strength I’ve never know I had.

The ability to function with no sleep,

The patience when dealing with 

a (heavily) crying baby; desperately

rocking them to sleep.

So I just want to tell you that we got this, momma. Take a deep breath, and just 

do it one day at a time.

One day at a time.
