Most Parents...
I remember the day you were born
Seems like it was yesterday to me
Just at the crack of the dawn
On a very hot Sunday afternoon
First it was a series of painful occurrences
And before I knew it
All I heard was the crying of a newborn -
Fragile...tender...with so many mixed emotions
But the feeling of excitement trumps every other feeling
You were so tiny in our arms but mighty in our hearts
It was of no doubt that you were a beautiful work of art
Craftily made by God, sent to us with such tenderness and aura
You made her a proud mother with no reason to ponder
A delightful surprised even in the midst of the planning
On the tattles of neighbours
I watched you grow beautifully
From cradle... to crawling...to walking and stumbling
From saying incoherent speeches
To your proud audible dialogues
Oh! How beautiful it was to be able to witness your growth and oh...
How beautiful it was the first time you mumbled ‘mummy'/'daddy'
On your first day at school, you were excited
But didn't want to go without your parents
I was also scared to leave my child uncared
But I had no choice and couldn't say otherwise
I trusted the process and I trusted you also
You finally grew up to be a responsible adult
That wasn't a surprise because you have always been amazing
With all my directives you never gave me a reason to flare up
You always made me proud never giving me a reason to regret
The day you came to the world happens to be the day of great joy
This feeling or mood is to represent what most parents have to go through. It's a process to watch your child go from the cradle to adulthood. Just something outside the box...
Thank you for your time.

Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Parenting is a beautiful stage of life and it comes with fears, emotions, and feelings.
Raising a child is a tasking and that's why we must be prepared for everything even before the time comes. Seeing a child grow gives every parent joy but there is a lot behind the growth and God can't be left out in that growth.
Watching a child grow is always a thing of joy. Being part of the process is beautiful. It can be challenging and it's hard work just as you have said. The process makes it worth it.
That's true, the process makes it worth it. The good and bad days sums up the strong emotions.
You spoke my mind. It's not an easy task. It's with rollercoaster of emotions. We need to stay prepared. There are no off days.
I wouldn't want to call parenting a profession but it definitely do not have off days. It is a continuous work even after the kids are grown.
This is totally beautiful and really I can't wait to be a mother if God wills, that feeling is next to non. Being able to reproduce another human and getting the rare privilege to nurture and care for them, it's just really so amazing and beautiful.
Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful thought out of the box, it's lovely and really thoughtful.

Thank you so much.
It's a wonderful feeling to be responsible for another life and how that life turns out. I know you will be a good mother and God wills it for you to be a mother. It would come at the perfect time for you, my dear.
That's really so sweet of you to say boo. I really do pray I become a mother that is according to God's standards 🥰.
And without deliberating too much, I know how little Dara is happy to have you as her superhero. I hope I got her name right, please correct me 🙃.
Hahahaha you got the name right and spot on too. Thanks a lot sugar. You are always amazing. I can't wait for that moment of yours. It would be priceless.
I'm happy I did, hehe. Now I'm not going to be confused about it again.
Yes it will be priceless I indeed.
A child is a precious gift though parenting isn't an easy task we keep trying our best to nurture them from cradle to adulthood because we value that precious gift.
It's not an easy job. It requires a lot of efforts. Children are precious gifts and we should value them...
Yea they are so precious. Thanks for the poem.
Thanks for being here. 🤗🤗🤗
What a beautiful poem about parent and child love.
This part of the poem is what I like the most. It's magical and meaningful.
I love that part too...it was weighty and priceless too. I'm glad you enjoyed this part too. It means a lot too.
nicely evocative of the dad life.
Thank you, sir.
Very nice poem my friend, I think babies are a complete blessing, I still don't know what it feels like to be a parent I hope God gives me the opportunity at some point in my life, to be there for that child at all times when they need it most, plus their growth and upbringing must be amazing, you have given me a perspective beyond changing diapers and stuff, thank you for sharing that feeling with all of us ♥
It's way beyond changing the diapers. It's about cherishing the process of growth. I'm sure one day you will be a father and the whole experience would be worth it for you.
I hope so, thanks to you for your good wishes and teachings in this writing for all of us what we still don't have the joy of being parents, I hope I can experience all that growth you explain in this beautiful post ☺
You will experience it. It's going to be an amazing moment for you. I can't wait to read all about it from you too.
Parental feelings goes beyond what we can say. It's a thing of pride to watch your ward grow through every stage of his or her life. It's not always pleasant. Sometimes you are fearful but it must be worth it in the end.
