LET US HAVE A BABY!!

Let us have a baby!!

In the park, a child in a pram was giggling,

The kids nearby were leaping and frolicking,

I exchanged glances with my wife,

And said, let’s add colour to our life,

So honey, let us have a baby,

 My words must have made her happy,

Coz she suddenly hugged me tightly,

And with joy, her eyes shone brightly,

 My mind was filled with apprehensions,

It had innumerable inhibitions,

I knew my wife would be a perfect mother,

But that moment,  I wondered, would I be a good father,

Countless thoughts flew in my head,

So casually about having a baby I had said,

Yet my mind was confused truly,

I knew the future would be hectic, undoubtedly,

The pregnancy period is tough, I know,

And during labour the pain that she will have to undergo,

I got scared merely visualizing,

Should I have not uttered those words, I began thinking,

For a moment, I closed my eyes,

I saw my newborn child’s face;  my life would be paradise,

He was smiling, he wanted me to hold,

Him and sway him in the air, to me, his eyes told,

And I thought, soon he’ll learn to walk,

He’ll learn to laugh, to talk,

Within no time, he’ll be going to school,

And to him, I’ll be the ideal “daddy cool”,

That’s when I let go of all the existing fears,

I felt like a parent already, I was in tears,

The anticipation of a baby was overwhelming,

It was a day, from now on,I’ll be awaiting,

I may have made people smile a thousand time,

With my sweet words, in my lifetime,

Yet the words I said today, to my wife,

Would remain the best ones I’ve uttered in my life…………
