Innocence....................

Two gentle souls fill the air with cheerful resonances. Their naughty mannerisms, their innocent jokes, their cuddly hugs, have given life a whole new meaning and along with that is the realization of a huge responsibility, of being able to give them a good upbringing enriched with high values. Today, I tried to put down my thoughts on this beautiful child-mother relationship.

Tiny hands hold my fingers

Trustingly grip the little wonders

The heart skips a beat

As the innocent eyes meet

And carefree smiles

Remove worries for miles

Tiny hugs greet the soul

It doesn't matter if one has not met the goal

Doesn't matter if one’s rich or poor

After all, you are their mommy dear

Doesn't matter if you are fair or dark

Coz Mommy, you are your angel’s star

A tiny tear rolls down the cheeks

Overcome with all the love it receives

The head bows down in a silent prayer

Lord, give me the strength to handle with care

Their fragile hearts may never despair

Tiny dreams will soon have wings

 And they will go on to do their own things

The sun shall set upon today’s youth

While new horizons open up for the not so tiny brood

Wrinkled faces shall hold up with pride

Every time their angels strive

To win, without letting their values dive

They find their place in the sun

And come home with the trophies won

Yet when they are in the dark and cold

They come back to their mother’s hold

A place where every child feels safe

A place where there is never a room for hate.
