Recipe 

 

Sleepless nights,

With loads of nappies and diapers,

Feels overwhelming,

Welcome to motherhood.

Waking up to cries of different types,

A bit of colic 

Or a bosom loaded with milk,

 Days of motherhood.

Postpartum spices,

When used sans caution,

Spoils the dish 

That we call motherhood.

Then come the saviours

A dash of baby powder,

A dash of baby oil,

And a generous seasoning of smile,

Enriches motherhood.
