Nine months I waited with baited
breath
For the moment you would arrive
It was a heavenly feeling,
Within me you were alive
I used to count your kicks
Each one gave me such pleasure
Every time I felt you move
It was a moment to treasure
And finally the day dawned
When you saw the light of day
And from that moment my life has
changed
In every single way
The first time I saw your beautiful
face
Your innocent eyes, pink cheeks
Tears of happiness rolled down
As I touched your delicate lips
I cannot put in words
The overwhelming feeling I felt at
that time
From that moment, in the song of our
lives
You have become the rhyme
I could have really gone crazy
When you first recognized me
And my happiness knew no bounds
When you first smiled at me
Your babbles filled our house
We would die to hear your clatter
When we were with you
Nothing else would matter
Slowly you started sitting,
Then began crawling around
And when you took that first step of
yours
You made us so proud!
Now each day brings with it
A new change in you
For our lives like a dried leaf
You are a drop of morning dew
Every new milestone you reach
Makes us, with joy, scream
For us, trapped in boring days
You are like a dream
You are like an oasis
In the vast expanse of sand
For any worries we have
Your smile is a magic wand
We all are in splits of laughter
When all over the house you run
Watching you play with your dolls
Is truly such pure fun
After an exhausting day
I die to see your face
You take us away into your own little
world
Away from this life’s donkey race
You make me forget all worries,
All tensions in our lives
You make us believe,
That life is full of smiles
In the white canvas of our lives
You paint different hues
Between the sun and rains
You are the rainbow in our lives
The way you call me ‘Momma’
Makes my heart literally melt
This is very different feeling
Never before have I felt
I thank God for blessing me
With a lovely daughter like you
For showing me a new dimension in life
Which existed, I never knew!
