The First Day Home

Sleep feels so good

Feeding my exhaustion

4am

The sound

Crying

Confusion

It’s a baby

A baby in my house

Clarity

I have a baby

That’s my baby crying

Which means

I’m a mom

That crying baby

Is mine

Time to be

A mom

I will sleep

When I’m dead

I thought I would eventually learn how to sleep again, but actually, I still can’t sleep. It’s 46 years later. I’m still listening for the baby. Happy Mother’s Day!
