*** Breasts ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

the breasts are really awesome, pure like a dove
for it is through them, one hears the heartbeat of love
for the tiny baby it means a mighty feed
and it is from them, the baby gets all that it needs
to a young child a comforting pillow
after a quick snuggle, happiness to follow
to a lovely lady can be a source of pride
yet they may also have some badness hidden deep inside
first one might notice a little lump
the news of this can leave you in a slump
yes sometimes things can go very bad
even tragic, and ultimately sad
she may feel she's not a woman, just an it instead
for this is what magazines say, or so she has read
will she lose all her locks of gorgeous hair
is this a burden that she can bear
afraid she'll lose attraction, lose her man's desire
will he now not love her, now not want to sire
it's true life can carry on, without her lovely breast
yet to those that suffer, can they pass this test
