Just mama

Some nights it seems 

You need me more than others 

When you wake and cry out

Needing more than just a binky

Needing the touch 

The snuggle of mama

If only every bad thing 

That ever comes your way

Could be eased with a touch

Soothed with you simply in my arms

Some nights it is once 

Some nights it is ten times

I feel blessed 

Each time I hear you 

I am thankful

Each time I run in to check on you

As I hold you

As I feel the weight of your tired body 

I know what a gift you are

I realize that these moments

will not last forever 

I am grateful for this time 

When mama is all you need 

You have time to grow 

Someday you will need so much more 

But, for now I am so happy

To be the one thing you want

The one thing you need  

Just mama
