A Poem for my Daughter

now 4 years old... but the writings on the wall still remains!

 My dear daughter, you turned two today.

It feels like you were just born yesterday.

Life has been a joyride ever since you came,

And I know my world will never be the same.

I still remember the anticipation of those forty weeks and later;

We wondered how you'd look like, who you'd take after.

Funny as it may sound, we prayed for my nose and Mama's eyes;

Though it wasn't to be, I know God has his own ways.

When you came, with nervousness and excitement I held you in my arms;

Your innocent smile lit my world and I prayed that you'd be far from harms.

So full of life you grew up right before our eyes;

Every waking moment or asleep you keep us delighted always.

Now you're everywhere, every time discovering some new ventures;

The walls of the house have your unique signatures.

You drop anything that gets to you hand, hoping to see it bounce like a ball;

You jump from every height, not bothered that you'd be hurt when you fall.

It feels as though days and months only add to make you

The centre of attraction and the one who cheers everyone too.

Tomorrow and the days to come you'll still be my star to stay.

Mama and papa loves you. Happy birthday!
