My Darling Child

by Jennifer Fink courtesy The Compleat Mother



Nurse my darling child, nurse.
Know not hunger or thirst.
Feel the warmth of my milk fill your stomach.
Taste the sweetness of it on your tongue.

Nurse my darling child, nurse.
Be neither cold nor hurt.
Feel the warmth of my arms around you.
Let my breath shield you from the world.

Nurse my darling child, nurse.
Feel neither scared nor lonely.
Draw strength from the sound of my heart.
Know that all my love is yours forever.

These things and more I will offer you so...
Nurse my darling child, nurse.
