Some Days...!

Some days I yearn to meet her again,

My younger carefree self.

Some days I try to remember how life was,

When I was accountable just for myself!

I miss being out and about,

Stepping out anytime, at a whim!

Not worrying about nap-time schedules,

And packing snacks and toys for him!

I miss relaxing on vacations,

And actually putting my feet up, doing nothing.

Not being on-the-run behind a frisky toddler,

And worrying about him falling and hurting.

I miss savoring fancy meals at restaurants,

Relishing every bite and sip.

Not gulping down my portions,

And taking turns in entertaining the little imp.

I miss sleeping in,

And unplanned lazy days.

Not being rudely awaken by little kicks and jabs,

And planning mealtimes and play-dates.

I miss catching up on movies,

And being abreast with the latest music in town.

Not swaying to the 'finger family',
And watching the wheels go round and round!

I miss hanging out with my buddies,

And just chatting, teasing and gossiping through the night!

Not discussing brain-draining toddler tantrums,

And potty training woes, sigh!

I miss dressing up pretty.

And taking time to decide between the blue and red.

Not hurriedly settling in for my usual 'mommy-clothes',
And styling up my boy, instead!

I do miss a lot of aspects,

Of my life before I became a Mum,

But I also am in love with my beautiful present,

With my sweet little Honey Bun!

Some days I just like to let my mind wander,

And reminisce the years bygone,

Some days, I allow myself to look past my blessed today,

And be in awe, of how much I have grown! 💛
