Advice To A New Mother
Take your child unto your breast.Let her suckle, let her nest.
Enjoy her softness, her purity,
For soon, my friend, she is gone from thee.
Spoil her rotten while you can.
Kiss her soundly, then again.
Reap rewards from her smile,
For she'll be gone in just awhile.
See the world through her new eyes.
Gently love away her sighs.
Listen nightly to her every prayer,
For one day her voice will not be there.
So soon she'll flee from your nest,
And wean herself from mother's breast.
So soon she'll go to make her brood a home,
And leave you standing there quite alone.
So, dear friend, take delight
While you can, day and night.
Enjoy each moment while you can;
You will never get it back again.
She will go too soon upon her way,
And nevermore will you watch her play.
You will turn around one day too soon,
And there will be just an empty room.
