Analysis of Mother's Milk
Gently cradling him and his charms
As he suckles from you, your babe in arms
Lovingly nourishing him with food of life
Cooling his nerves so he feels no strife
Watching you form into one with him
Fills me with a softening of my heart within
Lovingly witnessing this scene of the ages
Mother's milk so gracefully opens the heart of Sages
