The Words that No One Has Said to Me Before

For the first time

We were sharing the same bed together

For the first time

I looked into his eyes

I could see the love

The wonder the awe

The fright the joy

I waited

Waited for him to say those words

That I was longing to hear

For a very long time

The words that no one else had said to be before

But his eyes seemed to say

Wait for some time more

I waited and waited

But he just looked at me

And the look in his eyes seemed to say

Wait for some time more

We spent many a night together

I would hold him tight to my bosom

Waiting to hear those words

That no one said to me before

But his eyes seemed to say

Wait for some time more

He slept in my bed every night

Would not stay a minute without me

I was his life, his world

His eyes would always follow me

I waited for many months more

Waited to hear those words

That no one said to be before

But his eyes just seemed to say

Wait for some time more

And then the day came

When I first heard him say

The words that no one had said to me before

He said "Mummy, Mummy"

At last I heard the words

At last I heard him say it

At last he called me "Mummy"

The words that no one had said to me before
