Nurturing and Survival

















After we take our first breath,
We have the need for milk…
Most are swaddled through the first year,
In woolen blankets and silk.

We found in elementary school,
Real life pain and tears…
Teachers put band aids on our knees,
And soothed our darkest fears.

As teens, we found pain and comfort,
In first crushes and best friends…
Back then we were immortal,
All had a life that never ends.

Adults discovered happiness,
Via a secure job and a wife…
Two cars and a picket fence,
Proved a successful life.

Now that we are older,
And decades past living mothers…
Some find comfort with a Boxer,
On a heating pad under the covers.
