WISH THIS COULD FOREVER STAY

Our precious little daughters, with sweetness from above

Filled our years with laughter, and lives with lots of love.

Six months old, full of fun; A blink of an eye, you suddenly were one,

In a flash,  Seems like time just flies away, 

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

                   

A little bit of sunshine, As you laughed with your eyes every day

Your face would cheer us up, First a smile, then a gurgle to lighten our days

You make us so thrilled with your warm delightful ways

So I captured it all in a camera, and put it in a frame to display

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

You were so much at ease,  climbing down the stairs

The toys that you ran for, Is what you really cared

You thoroughly enjoyed, Messing with the clay

I kept a few toys, jotted moments each day

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

As I took you to icecream, I taught you to hold it the right way

 ‘Don’t let it spill’  I would say,

But you loved to lick it in the filthiest way,

So clicked one more picture in my compilation to save

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

How you would hit each other, Push away

I would scold, Expecting that you would obey

I would run on every fight, But all in dismay

It’s between sisters you would portray

I only smiled and decided not to disturb your child’s play

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

You were growing, Seemed taller every tenth day

Alongside the ever growing sweetness, kept me amazed

Encapsulated your little hand and feet with potter’s clay

 And Kept them like they would never cease away

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

Your sweet little coo hoo, Was maturing into words’ Yeah’!

A phrase, a sentence, a conversation, a story and then an essay

When I asked you any question, you would answer right away

I recorded your voice, to seize the innocence your voice conveyed

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

I tried to teach you school lessons and books in array

Amused me to see how you would run away

Your cute little logics, I would have to give way

So wrote your dialogues, Which when I listen I get swayed

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.

Tried to grab hold of your smell, my only regret if I may

I wish I could put it in a bottle, Forever to stay

 When you mature, you shall move on and time shall fade away

I will always have these reminiscences as my cells turn grey

As they are my biggest treasures like a memories’ bouquet

How much I wish this moment could forever stay.
