As Nourishing As Milk Poem by Doris Cornago

As Nourishing As Milk



A child believes there is a God
For a continuous sense of life
Coming out of the mother's womb
None was prepared but a warm bed
A warm breast, pressed to mouth

No history books to trace but faces
Of the home, making her way slowly
Every day is a phenomenal discovery
Her fingers so unusual, just parts
As nourishing as milk for growth

Sweetness marks her early childhood
Going to school was also a breeze
Her whole world was a friendly place
Faces were remembered, none rejected
Every day a discovery, her durability

When we are comforted with such warmth
We need not seek anything else in life
We don't see the need to push or rush
Mom says you're enough and we believe
Warm companionability comes from God

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Our mom is our friend from the very first day. Different people will have different perspectives of what a mother should be but my fondest memory is of her endurance of the hardships and her habit of shielding me from her personal pains, speaking nothing of her own disappointments, but making me feel the best about myself. A mother's 'religion' is defined by the way she takes care of her child.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Doris Cornago 13 August 2017

My mom and I like to preen ourselves with matching jewelry, just two females sharing a moment of fun. She is a better poet than I am, but I do not struggle to match her skills. She makes me feel sufficient and loved, and from her example, I believe that family, warmth and love under one roof is all the idea of God.
