To the mama awake with her baby tonight

 To the mama awake with her baby tonight

I see you

I see you pacing the same hallway.
I see you whispering soft shhh’s into the dark.
I see you curled up in the corner of the couch, holding a tiny body that only settles on you.

I know you’re tired.
I know you wish you could close your eyes for just a minute.
I know you’re wondering how something so small can need you this much.

But I also know this
No one can comfort them like you.
No one can calm them the way you do.
No one else was built for this exact moment.

These hours feel heavy, but they’re sacred in their own quiet way.
It won’t always be like this.
One night, they’ll sleep.
And you’ll look back and remember how your love carried both of you through.

So tonight
Even if you’re running on fumes
Even if you feel invisible
I see you.
