Don'T Be Upset, Mommy

Mommy, don't be upset When they say how you should stand, sit and eat While I munch on your blood and meat. Just don't be upset When they advise you on when I should be fed. You alone know when my tummy needs bread Mommy, don't be upset When they say I was born lean or bulky, dark or fair And force home remedies and weird aftercare Just don't be upset When they judge you for the cuts on your belly Or the amount of milk generated by your body. Don't be upset When they rebuke you for keeping me on diapers Or nag about your choices right from mittens to rompers. I know how you guarded me for nine months Every time I kicked from inside, your heart went nuts When my poor latching has hurt your nipples, I felt the wetness of your tears on my nerves. We ate and slept together We screamed and sang together I was in your belly and you were in my blood To meet each other, we worked as a team and laboured. Now, who are they to make you feel low? No, whatever they say doesn't help us grow. Just don't be upset, Mommy. We'll do only that, what is best for us!
