anyone know of a nice breastfeeding poem?
"elizabeth emerald" wrote in message
... i'm looking for a nice breastfeeding poem or little story. it can perhaps even just be about mothering. it can't be too long. any links to suggestions? I like this one, but maybe it's too long? -Patty, mom to Corinne (6y) and Nathan (3.5y) and stepmom to Victoria (13.5y) Baby's Choice Did you ever think, dear Mother, As the seeds of me you sowed, As you breathed new life inside of me And slowly watched me grow, In all your dreams about me When you planned me out so well, When you couldn't wait to have me there Inside your heart to dwell, Did you ever think that maybe, I was planning for you, too, And choosing for my very own A mother just like you? A mother who smelled sweet and who had hands so creamy white, A tender, loving creature Who would soothe me in the night? Did you ever think in all those days While you were coming due, That as you planned a life for me I sought a life with you? And now as I lay in your arms, I wonder if you knew While you were busy making me, I was choosing you! ~ Colleen M. Story ~ |

... i'm looking for a nice breastfeeding poem or little story. it can perhaps even just be about mothering. it can't be too long. any links to suggestions? Here's another! -Patty, mom to Corinne (6y) and Nathan (3.5y) and stepmom to Victoria (13.5y) Wean Me Gently by Cathy Cardall I know I look so big to you. Maybe I seem too big for the needs I have, but no matter how big we get, we still have needs that are important to us. I know that our relationship is growing and changing, but I still need you. I need your warmth and closeness, especially at the end of the day when we snuggle up in bed. Please don't get too busy for us to nurse. I know you think I can be patient, or find something to take the place of a nursing; a book, a glass of something. But nothing can take your place when I need you. Sometimes just cuddling with you, having you near me is enough. I guess I am growing and becoming independent, but please be there. This bond we have is so strong and so important to me. Please don't break it abruptly. Wean me gently, because I am your Mother, and my heart is tender. |

Okay, thanks a lot, eh ((( A bunch of those made me cry! (especially since DS is sound asleep on my lap right now after a good long nursing session and I can't believe how adorable he is and how much I love him...sniff sniff). Seriously, I'm glad you started this thread because those poems (especially "A Mother's Touch" and "Wean Me Gently") were beautiful. I've just forwarded them to my mom, who I know will cry, too LOL.

A Mother's Touch Breathe deep the scent of silky hair, And milky lips kiss with tender care. Stroke gently on a rounded face, And gaze on sleeping eyes, With grace, My arms envelope you, And pull your body close. Humbly, this I learn: A mother's touch, though loving it may be, Is nothing when compared to the ways you have touched me. by Deborah C. McCallister Sob!
