The Magic of Motherhood
-Manasa Reddy Chichili
Motherhood is a precious gift,
A blessing sent from above.
It is the quiet magic of nurture,
An endless ocean of love.
I am sleeping, yet someone feels hungry
And gently wakes me from my rest.
I am alone, speaking softly to myself,
Yet someone listens within my chest.
I stand for you in all you do,
I pray for you every day.
Motherhood is a sacred miracle
There are no words to describe about motherhood
Mother is the creator of nature,
Every beginning starts with her heart.
All that exists, all that breathes,
Finds its first home in a mother’s part.
My sweetheart, my love so pure,
Each day I write poems just for you.
I read them aloud with a smiling heart,
Hoping my voice reaches you.
This poem is for you, my love
Thinking of you,
Eating for you,
Caring for myself even when I feel weak,
Because you live within me.
You fill my dreams,
You light them with your presence.
I feel your gentle heartbeat
Throbbing softly in my womb,
Growing stronger every day.
My love,
Please come into this world
Safe and healthy.
Oh, my love…
My baby,
My baby,
My baby.
