MamaBlogger365 - Growing up in a Mother's Eye by Veronica Hosking

June’s focus on my body inspired me to focus on delivery. As pregnancy nurtures new life, body image transforms.

Delivery

Mom
Yields…

Bursting
Open to
Deliver
You

After delivery, Moms measure their babies’ growth with each passing birthday. My youngest turned 10 this year. And last month, my oldest daughter became a teenager.

Ten Years Old
Ten short years
Elapsed already
New adventures await

You’ve grown so much
Enriching your knowledge
Achieving your potential
Reaching for all you can be
See your future awaits

Only you can step forward
Learning what will come next
Don’t delay it all awaits

Turning Thirteen

Little girl is turning thirteen
Time for parents to intervene
Mom and Dad will keep her locked tight
As everyone exits stage right
