At Mother's Tender Breast

At Mother’s Tender Breast

 

At Mother’s Tender Breast

        Is where I find my rest

 

I will lay

I will pray

In mother’s graceful nest

 

Gentle is her face

When I’m resting in this place

Much sanctity and safety

I find between her lace

 

Until sleep overcomes

She guards me with her song

Although the day is long

I will play

I will stay

Gathering hope, becoming strong

 

No other peace relates to mother’s

         quiet charms

I will lay

I will stay

In mother’s loving arms

 

She nurtures my visions and dreams

Magically understanding, she seems

For shelter and refuge she stands

The power of angels, she commands

Forever, my heart and head gently land

In mother’s healing hands

 

Carefully plans were sewn

I will still crave,

but I’ll be brave

Until I’m on my own

 

-M. Jacobs

jake, This is a sincere and loving ode to a mother. The visuals here are wonderful ie; I will lay I will pray in mother's graceful nest... Much sanctity and safety I find between her lace...For shelter and refuge she stands...lovely lines that harbor the young ones to her. ginga

Such a wonderfully playful piece in all of its love for your mother. I lost my mother and father 12 years ago in the same year, eleven months apart, and since then have felt like an orphan. Your writing is masterful, magical, and pleasurable.

This is magical and can be witnessed by either gender, so tender that anyone's heart can feel the love and care conveyed. I lost my mother three years ago and witness her presence each time a butterfly goes by, for the warmth of her presence will always remain. ("The power of angels, she commands") Thank you so much for your talented words 10

thank you for your supportive words and for sharing about your mother.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
