Soon after my arrival

I learned

I could rely upon

Those pair of arms

I had been placed

They held me closely

I enjoyed snuggling close to her breast

Suckling, smelling the sweetness of milk

Feeling the swish of satisfaction

That calmed my hunger pains

Hunger pains that awoke me from my sleep

I soon learned how demanding I must be

To obtain her attention

Crying was the only language I knew

To communicate my needs

When I was in discomfort

I learned I could make different vocal sounds

In different virables and tones

Most often mother seemed to

Find the message I was trying hard to communicate

I grew to depend upon the woman

Who had birthed me

I felt the joy that she felt

I felt the first tinge of the thing

I later learned was love

I felt happy positive feelings

Thinking that I had indeed

Tumbled down that canal headfirst

Into a wonderful place
