"I've always cared"
48" x 24"
Acrylic on Canvas

Poem by my mother, poet Alicia Zavala Galván
Nourishment

 

I feed you willingly and eagerly

and let this child and all of my children

drink of my milk flowing

a fountain of nutrition

for the body and the soul

 

I feed you not looking

at your skin color or ethnicity

because a mother does not distinguish

between the love of her children

for then she would cease

to be a mother

and her milk would turn bitter

and therefore embitter

the child that comes to her

for food, for comfort, for warmth

for hope, for love

 

The nourishment I give you

is composed of

all the good

all the compassion

all the humanity

all the justice

all the unselfish

so that your heart

will remain open

to all who approach

for help,

for food

for lodging

 

I will remain vigilant

should someone

try to dissuade you

from what is your responsibility

to humans on this planet

and other beings

in the universe that you

may cross the paths

of your life

 

Let the milk you drink from me

help you to grow to be an example

of all that is good in this world
