Lovely poem for new mothers

I just want to take a moment here to share this lovely poem I found on the internet some years ago. I read it to comfort myself during the early difficult moments with a newborn baby.

If I could talk, here's what I'd say

happy with you, I want to stay

Hold me, hug me, let me see

your happy face, smiling back at me

Hold me, cuddle me in your arms

Keep me safe from all that harms

The time is right, for me to hold

when you're less busy, I'll be too old

You're much happier, you worry less

when you can see, I have no stress

It makes good sense, you must confess

There's time later to clean the mess

Let no schedule, furrow your brow

Let us enjoy this time, right now

Career and dreams are important too

they are, a significant part of you

When I'm older we'll join the race

It's better then, to pick up the pace

I don't know, if we've got one or two

I don't care, it it's old or new

Why would I care, if we have a view

What I do know, is, I want YOU

Nurture me now, don't put me on hold

Its your time I want, not your gold

Cuddle me, comfort me, dispel my fears

Holding me close and tending my tears

dispels my imagined, and real fears

Up in your arms with you I yearn

Carry me, hold me, its my turn

Show me skills, that I may learn

I love to hear, and to feel your voice

Its in simple things, that I rejoice

When I can hear and when I can see

learning to speak, is easier for me

How I love your caring smile

won't you sit with me a while

Cuddle me, kiss me, let us frolic

there'll be no time, for fretful colic

I love the rhythm of your heart

It comforts me and lets me know

that you're still here and shall not go

That you love me, I will know

when you help me learn and grow

Lets enjoy this love, of which we're fond

living together and creating a bond

Snuggle me tenderly to your chest

Suckle and comfort me at your breast

Keep me close, at the centre of your life

we'll both encounter a lot less strife

My wholesome security and self esteem

are a worthy goal, not just a dream

Fortunate for me, thats what I'll get

for because of love, we two have met

When your fragrance, I can smell

I'm brought comfort, 'cause I can tell

that you are close and all is well

As you work, walk, take a trip

with me safely balanced, upon your hip

our muscle tone will be much greater

and I'll be walking, sooner than later

Show me the very best ways to go

so when I'm older, up straight, I'll grow

When you meet all of my needs

my health and development succeeds

I feel loved, happy and content

Your time with me is well spent

Great dividends we all will reap

as I lay contented, down to sleep

We will wake, refreshed and ready

full of joy, strong and steady

Give me security for which I long

let me know that I belong

Your sweet voice upon my ears

comforts me and makes me strong

It quiets me and soothes my tears

now that I know that you are near

With your help, I'll find wings

and be moving on to greater things

Soon enough, I'll walk, run and play

entertaining myself, for most of the day

I hope I've helped, for you to see

we're both better off, when you carry me

I love poems. I did not write the above one. I saw it in a forum and it is truly inspiring. That is why I am sharing it here. I wish I knew who the author was so I can tell her how wonderfully inspiring this poem is for new mothers. 

I also wrote some motherhood poems from the time my babies were newborns. They are now 8 and 10 years old. My collection of poems is all about the joys of motherhood including the self doubt and insecurities that we mothers sometimes feel as a mother and a wife.
