My First Child Poem by Mysia Hayling

I'm anxious yet nervous

Because I'm afraid I may not be a good mother

I'm new at this experience

Please God grant me patience.


All I have is love in my heart

Is it enough to make it through

I want so much to raise a strong child

Yet I can't stop him from being a little wild.


It is a part of his nature

How do I embrace his personality

And shape him for a better humanity

I am not perfect

Sometimes I make mistakes

When I fall I learn to grow through error

Not forgetting to look at the man in the mirror

All I can do is try my best and leave it to God to do the rest.
