You snuggle into my arms,
And flash at me, that impish grin,
I feel my heart flutter within;
Your tiny nose crinkles up, A
And I catch that twinkle in your eyes,
My heart, it now soars to the skies;
Your gurgles and your oohs and ahhs,
And that oh, so charming, toothless smile,
Reassure me everyday,
That life is beautiful and worthwhile.
I bury my head in your lap,
Lovingly, you stroke my hair,
I forget all worry and care;
And so it has been all this life,
My burdens that you shouldered, forever with grace,
I see them now, in the lines on your face;
In the silver of your hair, in the gray of your eyes,
And in that angelic toothless smile,
I see all the love I need,
To run yet another mile.

Lovely Poem, Preeta. I could easily relate this with the activities of my daughter, Tanmayi when she was an infant of 60 days old...the portrayed images are very refreshing.

There is no other way than to reassue
