A Baby's Prayer

Bless the mothers and praise their charms
I found "me" in mama's arms
Always safe, always sound
Always honoured with that bound
Graceful, delicate, almost silk
Bless all mothers of mama's ilk

Thank you for your kind visit.
I never knew that ilk has a negative meaning. My dictionary doesn't mention any negative use

Here what I find:

ilk 1
— noun

family, class, or kind:
he and all his ilk.
— adjective

same .
— Idioms

of that ilk ,
(in Scotland) of the same family name or place:
Ross of that ilk, i.e., Ross of Ross.
of the same class or kind.

***Did you read my poem
MOM'S SMILES

''''''''''Bless the mothers and praise their charms
I found "me" in mama's arms(((WHY ME IN INVERTED COMMAS Rula???)
Always safe, always sound
Always honoured with that bound
Graceful, delicate, almost silk
Bless all mothers of mama's ilk

I thought "myself" is grammatically more correct, but as the speaker is a baby, hence comes the quotation marks.
Thanks for the kind visit.
