how loved

if you only knew

how loved you are—

there is only one need—

see how the infant

just swallows,

how Mother nourishes

her Child,

such speechless adoration,

care and affection,

safety, protection—

what beauty,

this loving instinct,

how patiently

Mother teaches us her way,

a way that can only

be learned by invitation

love requires no intellect,

just presence—

and Mother is present

to her Child,

no distractions,

just attention,

acceptance,

no questions asked—

if you only knew

how loved you are
