The smell of motherhood

I kissed my newborn today
she smelled of fresh dried milk..
The smell I share..
The bond I made..

Six years ago..
My son and i shared the same smell
He now smells different

Of sunshine,spring and fallen leaves
Of the food at his friend's home

She too shall smell of her world
Drifting away from me
The smell of my milk
Unwanted, dried and stale
