It’s 8PM and I’m laying here on the couch,

Mama’s on the left, baby’s to the side.

The sun has slowly set, the sky is purple,

I lay here drained and groggy.

In this moment, I’ve reached nearly a breaking point.

Crying, fussing, lack of sleep, unknowns, fears…

All this weight to be perfect, great, or even good.

Then I stopped racing through my mind.

Just soak in the moment with those I love most.

The rest will come.
