Just Born
Exciting New birth
closeness to breast,
milk sustaining,
love relationship of touch,
tender words
Feeding on the tone of voice, words,
the hugs,
Not sure how to communicate needs
Sometimes just crying, unformed sounds,
Listening to the story, seeing the pictures
through learning eyes

Maturing
Milk part of the past,
Although a glass,
Every now and then, is good.
Feeding
in the Word,
Open to questions,
Knowing full reassurance of faith,
Solid, in honest
love with God,
Given in a daily walk.

Milk Delivery
Open the door
to today’s living, your world,
backpack slung over shoulder
ready with stored milk cartoons,
Searching, lead to
another new birth.
