When you smile

a poem by Vinod Pallikandi

Just sixty days into this world
You’ve brought us joy untold

Your knowing looks and selective smile
Shows your grace and early style

Simply can’t wait to hear you talk
Hold your hand and make you walk

In a turbulent world, a calm being you really are
Days of your growth and great deeds are not very far

To raise you till you rise, we shall steer
Blessed we’re to have you daughter dear

Every little sound you make has some meaning
Only that we don’t comprehend your fullest feeling

God has taken good time to create you
Our darling is the most lovable baby on view

A bundle of delight, you’ve struck an everlasting bond
We shall always be near, towards your glorious days and beyond

When you smile, a million stones in the sky turn stars
Lighting the lamp of joy in our hearts

As you cuddle in comfort, feeling light like a feather
Blessed you are to be born to a divine father.
