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…………
