Ode To My Breast Pump

We have spent so much time together
It is with little sorrow that I bid you adieu
You pumped and sucked
Till by nipples turned blue

We sat on the toilet
Of my bathroom at work
Making milk for my baby
Till she could eat from a fork

Now she is growing
More and more everyday
She can drink milk that’s not mine
So I can put you away

We were quite connected once
You went everywhere with me
To keep my breast from engorging
And to help feed my little baby


Though I won’t need you again
I will miss you a lot
You were there through it all
Whether I wanted you or not
