* Poems written with a baby on my lap: #1 – If I could speak (1-30-2014)
“It’s plain and simple….please give me your nipple
some food is what I need
lest I scream and cry
until you sigh
and admit it’s time to feed
I don’t need much…your love and gentle touch
and kisses on my cheek
however, infer you must…from my tears and fuss
until I learn to speak”
