MILK ON EVERYTHING
Dedicated to my son Auryn
And Ziola, the cat who licked up the milk
Milk on the table
Milk on the sweater
Milk on the cat
Who purrs when you pet her
Milk on your blanket
Milk on your shirt
Milk on my boots
Right next to the dirt
Milk on your hands
And milk on your toes
And milk on your face
Right under your nose
Milk is on
So many things
It is true
But the best place
For milk to be
Is in you
And Ziola, the cat who licked up the milk
Milk on the table
Milk on the sweater
Milk on the cat
Who purrs when you pet her
Milk on your blanket
Milk on your shirt
Milk on my boots
Right next to the dirt
Milk on your hands
And milk on your toes
And milk on your face
Right under your nose
Milk is on
So many things
It is true
But the best place
For milk to be
Is in you

Just beautiful and so true. I loved nursing all my babies. Nothing so pure as this.
