PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Like pouring from vessel to vessel

Motherhood is a life poured into being poured out

So be sure that your source is a worthy spout

The life giver is the only one that can sliver

Between life’s ups and downs

Merry’s and sad go-rounds

So let him pour into your soul

In order to raise a child that is whole

You cannot give what you have not

But please deliver what is free and cannot be bought

The milk of life only you can serve

To the  precious ones entrusted just what they deserve

You may not know all that is your part

But at least give what you have been given from the start

something so close to the beat of your heart

Breast-feeding is the transference of the wealth of health

The promise given to have the best intellectual stealth

So like a trusted vessel that has been poured into

Pour out to your little ones the liquid love that has been given to you.
