Sweet Children

Kanakadurga Dingari
It is a wonderful feeling when you

Entered as a small thing and grew

Inside of me,

When you kicked listening to

Music we knew you love music.

Whenever we were with good friends

You were always pleasant, moving slowly

And curious to know

Who were making my parents happy?

When we had you it was one of the greatest

Feelings in the world!

Holding you in our arms first time

With sweet little hands and legs,

Yawning, tired in the process of

Entering the new world.

When we saw two cute dimples in your cheeks

We were so excited!

It was so much fun everyday watching

How you were changing little by little?

Light eyebrows started to thicken

And the eyelashes spread out so beautifully,

Your beautiful thick hair becoming curly.

You smiled at everyone and you

Went to people without any problem who

Were close to us but when you saw unpleasant

Face or when we became tense upon their arrival,

You did not go to them.

Whenever people commented looking at you

Saying, 'Oh, what a sweet baby, so cute, such

A darling,' we were so proud of having you in our

Lives and brought so much happiness and joy into

Our routine lives!

Each day was as exciting as

You were growing and learning so many things

Naturally.

Our home was filled with your giggles,

Exciting laughter and crying sometimes

Everything about you was so exciting

Wonderful!

It was so delight to watch as you rolled over,

Sit, crawled, stand and run,

With your flip flop sounds

So many happy memories.

When you bend to see from your legs

Upside down to say peek-a-boo,

You enjoyed your bath and became sleepy

After playing in the water, then take a nap

Rolled in the fresh towel,

You were so beautiful and there was nothing

In the world which can make us happy than

Looking at you when you sleep peacefully,

Smile and laugh in your sleep,

Each moment was so precious

For us when we spend time with you!

Having a boy and a little girl,

So many happy memories with both of you,

Thanks for making our lives so exciting,

Unbelievably happy and filled our Hearts with so much love and affection.
