Where have my babies gone?
they were here only yesterday
Feeling softness as I touched their tender pink skin
inhaling the fragrance of their innocence
sensing their need as they suckled my breasts
I took them to school their little hands trembling in mine
as I encouraged them to conquer the world
Once I stood beside them every step of the way
now I only watch and lead no more
They moved to homes of their own
into lovers arms to share the world they created
I miss the babies crying for me
my breasts now void of life
I crave those eyes of wonder requesting knowledge I could give
Now they are friends who remember those days
who touch me with tenderness and thank me for life
Where have my babies gone?
they were here only yesterdayCopyright © 2010 Eileen A Partak
