And Poetry...

Sunshine…

I see us walk-
Hand in hand,
Along the breezy shores
Feeling the warmth of a drowning sun...

I see your eyes glitter
Reflecting the light
Of long, slender candles...
And on a cold winter night,

I see us near the fireplace-
Not looking into each other’s eyes,
But into the distant future,
Our hearts filled with hope.

I see you on that rock-
Lending me a hand
To help me cross the river...
And with all my trust, I reach out.

I see you sweep me off
My feet, as we dance-
For hours with splendid grace,
Across the drawing hall.

I see us giggle and laugh
In the rain, all wet- and yet,
Your smile, like the sunshine
Beams into my heart...

I see me old and meek...
And I see you by my side-
Cribbing as to what a mistake
You'd committed years ago!

I smile to myself
And then wonder with delight-
What wonderful things I see
With my eyes so gently closed....



A step into this world…

Tiny toes, like scoops of the moon,
And tender feet so small…
Oh! Tiny hands, Oh! Shiny nails,
That clutch when he’s to bawl…

Ruby lips, Oh! Cherry lips
Reveal a toothless smile-
A twinkle here, a dimple there -
Hearts stop – a little while!

Oh ears are they, so small and cute?
A small protrusion – the nose!
So pink, so supple, his rosy cheeks,
As delicate as a dew-studded rose.

More soft and shining than anything else,
His hair - an angel’s dream…
A smile, a glow, a glossy brow
That widens as he beams.

A “miniature me” smiles back at me-
My lovely baby boy.
He might grow, but he’ll always be
His mother’s bundle of joy.
