My body—once mine—now a vessel, a home,
My thoughts no longer fully my own.
Career and dreams momentarily blurred,
By tiny cries and lullabies heard.

No longer just "her", but "their everything",
A role both heavy and light as a wing.
Lost and found in one tender breath,
A love deeper than I ever guessed.

This is not surrender, but evolution's grace,
A transformation time cannot erase.
