*giggles, feeling ornery*

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
These are the boobies,
They're JUST FOR YOU!

(talking to the baby of course LOL)

THE NEW-BORN BABY'S SONG

When I was twenty inches long,
I could not hear the thrush's song;
The radiance of the morning skies
Was most displeasing to my eyes.

For loving looks, caressing words,
I cared no more than sun or birds;
But I could bite my mother's breast,
And that made up for all the rest.

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.

youch!

Awww, I don't think she meant bite as in *really* bite (no teeth,
for a start)... there aren't many other words that would scan and
make as much sense, though!

I like this, I think it's really sweet. What *is* a newborn's world
apart from the breast? It's everything important - food, warmth,
snuggling...
