Breast is Blessed

By Shayla Brown

by the God of your father who will help you,
by the Almighty who will bless you
with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that crouches beneath,
blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

Genesis 49:25

Breast is best.

Yes.

But furthermore,

I suggest:

That our Breasts on our chests,

are favored and Blessed.

Our Breasts–perfectly abreast

with perfect peaks

and perfect crests–

much deserve

week-long

month-long

national and international fests!

Our mighty Breasts are Blessed;

Mighty Power they posses;

not just my personal testimony.

Statistics can attest:

less Sudden Infant Death,

less respiratory distress,

less stomach upset,

diabetes, and childhood obesity addressed!

Breast pump or hand-express.

Breastfeeding saves money and costs less.

and best?

Hands down, no competition, no contest?

It even helps you fit back into your pre-pregnancy dress.

Yes, I’m obsessed.

Yes, I’m guilty, I confess.

I could probably go on…but I’ll give it a rest.

Breast is best.

Yes.

But furthermore,

I suggest:

That our Breasts on our chests,

Are highly favored and Blessed. (Luke 1:28)
