About this piece
I am a mother of 6 children and during the breast feeding of my 4th baby I had a profound and moving experience looking into his eyes as he gazed at me. I was moved at that instance to express my feelings of awe and wonder, the words flowed almost instantaneously.
NO GREATER LOVE
I see in your eyes
The innocence of life
As I gaze at you in wonder
I hold you to my breast
As you suck and caress
I feel you warm and tender
You babble sweet sounds
Your voice resounds
You smile to me your lover
Your bright eyes like lights
Shining through their sight
Reflecting love in need
No greater Love
Is the mightiest and best
Who nourishes you from my breast.
(Dedicated to my baby :1983)
