Call Me Mom
First sight, First cry, First memory
– The Good Enuf Mommy
Love and pride and mystery
We are making history
You can call me Mom
Books, baby signs and tummy time
Songs and dance and nursery rhyme
A personal entertainer on no one’s dime
You can call me Mom
Organic, unprocessed and always homemade
Chef, Chauffeur and personal maid
New role as a mom on full parade
You can call me Mom
No sleep, no rest, and no reprieve
Stressed, unprepared and so naive
At all costs I must achieve
You can call me Mom
Mommy guilt in overdrive
Praying every day we’ll both survive
If we somehow we come out alive
You can call me Mom
Feels like I’m failing in every way
My self-esteem in full decay
All my dreams slipping away
You can call me Mom
It strikes me then – reality
I’m good enough in my normality
Not supermom, I’m just me
And you can call me Mom
– The Good Enuf Mommy
