A Mother's Milk

I cling to thy soft source of 
strength,
touching her tender tip: a terrific 
tap,
I held unto its her helm for 
health,
while sleeping... I get a soothing 
sap. 

A mother's milk so mild,
in tender age... a sweet succor,
for every charming & cheerful 
child
to grow without sickness' sore.

Crying kids crave this cute cup
filled with soothing sweetness,
Smiling kids have got a top up...
a fill of a mother's cool kindness.
