Babies

a poem by Nandita Pai

Babies are precious,
They are gifts of God,
Beautiful they are,
Like a lotus in a pond.
Babies bring joy,
They make you happy,
They kick about in the air,
Wearing a Nappy.
I really enjoy,
Their cute naughty pranks,
But pity them when I hear,
Their unhappy cranks.
Their ever smiling face,
Spreads the feeling of love,
Their shiny wonderful eyes,
Twinkle like stars above.
Babies truly are wonderful,
Brighten up your life they do,
They just do their ‘baby-thing’,
And entertain you.
