MACÉDOINE [Poetry]

Magic of breastfeeding

Clap eyes on the wonderous magic it produces—
Wholesome colostrum; the first immunization to infants,
Requisite nutrients in proper proportions as it commences;
For child's salubrious growth—to be titled not a "dwarf" nor a "giant".
A protection against allergies, infections, and diseases.
Digestible...and O! affordable for both merchants and peasants!

Breastmilk? Everywhere you go!
—always clean, free, and at the right temperature.
Exclusively; it's a saviour of under 5 deaths with 13% or so...
For a mother and her child, it creates a juncture—
Of deep connection and love that beams as it flows.
To mothers; it decreases the risk of certain cancers and fractures.
