No one gets moms like other moms do. Even the people around them can only guess what it must be like to love someone you haven’t even seen yet, and how to confront the rollercoaster ride of finally welcoming your baby to the world, and making your life revolve around his or her daily routine.
But music is a universal language that warms one’s heart in the most astounding way. Swiftie moms would agree that every stage of motherhood they couldn’t put into words are perfectly captured by a Taylor Swift song or two. Taylor may not be a mom herself yet, but her lyrics bear emotions moms surely identify with, whatever stage of motherhood they’re in!
I don’t know why all the trees change in the fallBut I know you’re not scared of anything at allDon’t know if Snow White’s house is near or far awayBut I know I had the best day with you today
One of the most exciting times in a first-time mom’s life is the day you get the news that you’re actually expecting. You’ll never forget this day to its tiniest details and you’ll truly remember this as one of the best days of your life.
This night is sparkling, don’t you let it goI’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way homeI’ll spend forever wondering if you knewI was enchanted to meet you
There is no feeling quite like finally holding your baby in your arms. It’s love at first sight! This moment will forever change your life.
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You’ll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I’ll be safe and sound
One of the most difficult tasks of motherhood is raising a newborn baby. There will be very little sleep, continuous feeding sessions, and bouts of anxiety that may seem never ending. There’s nothing quite like the mixed feelings of wanting more sleep and staying up as much as you can to ensure your baby’s safe and comfortable.
I won’t let nobody hurt youWon’t let no one break your heartAnd no one will desert youJust try to never grow upNever grow up
One day your little ones are snuggling beside you in their adorable jammies, while you’re singing lullabies in off-key tones that only they will appreciate. The next day, they are learning to crawl, walk, and eventually run without you. Later on, your kids feeding themselves, placing dishes on the sink, and dressing themselves will make you whisper, “Not so fast, my love. Not so fast.”
The bottom’s gonna drop out from under our feetI’ll catch you, I’ll catch youWhen people say things that bring you to your kneesI’ll catch youThe time is gonna come when you’re so mad you could cryBut I’ll hold you through the night until you smile
You used to do so many things together, and now your little ones wave you goodbye, signaling the beginning of them doing things without you. You don’t want to overthink it but their little feet entering the school gates without you stings. Despite this, you know you’re just there waiting for your kid.
And then you’re on your very first dateAnd he’s got a carAnd you’re feeling like flyingAnd your mama’s waiting upAnd you’re thinking he’s the oneAnd you’re dancing ’round your room when the night endsWhen the night ends
The shy eyes and stolen glances – ah, young love. The rollercoaster of emotions can be an intense experience. Hearing our kids tell us about their first love may break our hearts a little, but trust that you’ll be ready to listen to the kaleidoscope of emotions no matter how daunting they can get.
When Emma falls in love, she paces the floor
Closes the blinds and locks the door
When Emma falls in love, she calls up her mom
Jokes about the ways that this one could go wrong
She waits and takes her time, ’cause Little Miss Sunshine always thinks it’s gonna rain
When Emma falls in love, I know, that boy will never be the same
Your eyes won’t be left dry on your kids’ wedding day. The fact that they will be starting a new life as a wife or husband will be bittersweet, but we know that they will always be the little ones who light up our lives.
So don’t you worry your pretty, little mind
People throw rocks at things that shine
And life makes love look hard
The stakes are high, the water’s rough
But this love is ours
You’d be your kids’ most solid support system whether they grow up marrying or not, whether they choose to have children or not. There will always be a bond only the two of you will share, and that’s something no time or distance will ever take away from you.
