For Aadvik

Ten little fingers,
And your cherubic face,
Chin like mine,
And your father's feet,
Pretty in purple,
glowing bright in white,
Multi-coloured mittens,
caps that fit your head just right,
Fragrance of your bathing soap,
the feel of massaging olive oil,
Touch of Cheeks on our shoulders,
The grip of fingers on my dress,
Glistening eyes looking at us intently,
cat like cries making us hold you tighter,
Our search for a pattern in your routine,
your tricks to mislead us each day,
The sound of you breathing,
the ecstasy of holding you in our arms,
My lullaby to soothe you to sleep,
Granny's numerous attempts to keep you safe from winter's peep,
Ten little fingers, and a cute little face,
We name you 'Aadvik' by God's grace.
