Hush thee my baby, snuggle in my arms,
I'll kiss your Marzipan toes as you work your charms.
Silky and warm, we cuddle and kiss,
Little fingers touch my face and we both feel the bliss.
In the middle of the night, when Daddy won't do,
Give him a chance, sweet baby, he loves you too.
Milk dances on your lips, as we both drift to sleep,
I drink you up, 'cause I know babies don't keep.
*Stillen is the German word for Breastfeeding. I love the visual connection to the English word "still." It makes clear the connection that nursing also calms, satisfying more than physical need for food, but also providing comfort and security.
