Our Princess

Our Princess
(Written in 2003 when my daughter Anu was born)

Well there may be many thrills in life,
but we doubt whether any can better this.
Out of 24hrs this ladysleeps for 14 hrs (and make sure we don’t sleep more than four)
feeds for 6hrs (and does not care an iota about our woes)
cries almost an hour a day (and keeps us on toes)
expects us to toil for her as she soils her clothes.

But
Her 1 yawn
Her 1 smile
Her 1 stretch
Takes us to cloud nine
And Fills us with pride

Gazing at her is peace
Holding her is success
She is what makes us feel complete.

We never understood why our parents love is so unconditional
But we have an idea now why.
So much emotions in the last 10 days
Labour,Birth, Jaundice .. smiles and tears.
Bless and Pray for herUncles/Aunts/Grandpas/Grandmas/Bros and Sisters

This is our princess … as you may have yours.
This is our bundle of joy … which knows no bounds
This is our baby – “Anukriti”Our life from now on.
