Motherhood

Open bar

Hot and sticky
We’re both so sweaty
In the midst of one of the first summer nights
When the heat wave hits

We’ve taken our little walk around the block
That usually puts you to sleep
But tonight I’m a bit worried
I can’t tell if you’ve had enough

All day we were both so sweaty
We stayed inside, eating, chilling, napping
Your little head close to my heart
Your hair so wet up against my chest

Drink drink drink I told you later
Knowing you’re only source of hydration was your mother
And in that moment realizing
How vulnerable you are

I’m your unique supplier
You come to me for food and drinks
I’m your sole provider
You’re lifeline this evening

I feel rich to get to feed you
Nourish and nurture you
I feel prosperity in my bones
Being able to offer you my milk

I can’t even imagine
Relying on an external source for all
I will honour the trust of your soul
And make sure you always get everything you need

So tonight my love it’s open bar
Drink drink drink from the fountain of love
I will eat the cucumbers and watermelon
To keep my milk supply steady
So you never go hungry or thirsty
But first and foremost
I will take care of my soul
So yours receive all the nutrients to grow strong and healthy
