Marked by motherhood - 1 Nov 2020
Ear print on my arm
Milk spill on my chest
Growing head tucked
Beneath my chin
Nappies
Naps
Night waking
Never ending care
Not much time
I’m her person assistant
And personal chef
As well as her partial food source
There have been tears
Over milk- spilled
Lack of milk supply
There’s been fear
But so much love
And growing
Stillness, snuggled
and cuddles
Carrier close to my heart
So near I can kiss your hair
Caressing your head
Singing you to peace
And seeing you fall asleep
