first child – Guiding The Young Ones

Before there was you,

Life had less stress.

No constant worries,

No cleaning your mess.

Before there was you,

I could have a lie in.

Not up at dawn,

Taking nappies to the bin.

Before there was you,

I could shower alone.

Stay out til late,

Spend hours on the phone.

Before there was you,

I could choose my tv.

Instead I watch Mr tumble,

Each day on repeat.

Before there was you,

I could get ready at leisure.

But my love for you now-

I simply can’t measure.

My life has changed completely,

But this much is true.

I never knew pure love,

Until I had you.

Suddenly you’re not a baby,

And I’m sat asking why.

And how we take for granted,

How fast years go by.

So I will treasure each second,

Each sweet memory,

Because always in my heart,

You’ll be my baby.
