You are my reason
You are the reason I get up each morning.
Even though my eye lids are as heavy as a five tonne truck.
Even though all I want is a sleep in, a coffee and breakfast in bed.
You are more important.
You need me.
For you, I would do anything.
You are the reason I am finally comfortable in my own skin.
Even though I am a size bigger than I used to be.
Even though my boobs cannot be described as “perky”.
You relied on my body.
You gave it purpose.
For you, I will always love it.
You are the reason I am more eco friendly.
Even though I couldn’t keep up with the cloth nappies we tried.
Even though I often forget my reusable coffee cup.
You make me want to make the world a better place.
You have opened my mind.
For you, I want to be a good role model.
You are the reason I am no longer selfish.
Even though I sometimes complain that I don’t buy anything for myself anymore.
Even though I get annoyed when I don’t get enough alone time.
You have taught me that there is more to life than just me.
Your needs come first right now.
For you, I happily come second.
You are the reason I now know the importance of patience.
Even though I sometimes miss the fast paced life.
Even though I still get frustrated when I feel inefficient.
You need me to go at your pace.
You are the priority right now.
For you, I slow down.
You are the reason that I now have perspective.
Even though I don’t make the money that I used to.
Even though I don’t have the level of mental stimulation I once had.
You are more important.
You need me.
For you, my career can wait.
You are the reason I worry more than ever.
Even though I know it won’t change anything.
Even though it’s not your fault.
You are precious.
You are vulnerable.
For you, I will worry forever.
You are the reason I am now filled with gratitude.
Even though I get sad when things do not go my way.
Even though I sometimes lose sight of what I have.
You are my constant reminder that I am blessed.
You are the light at the end of every tunnel.
For you, everything is worth it.
You are the reason that my heart is full.
Even though I love your dad more than you can ever imagine.
Even though I am grateful for our life before you.
You have shown me a love like no other.
You are remarkable.
For you, my heart explodes.
Lottie, you are my reason.
