Pearls of Laughter

Tiny feet running around,
On tip toe, mapping the ground.
Under the bed lies your treasure land,
Blocks, balloons, balls, and plans Grand.
Animals on the mat await their turn
While you contrive spanking everyone's bum.
The elephant swing considers itself lucky,
When you mistake it for a pony.
Maira the doll, penguine pillow and the smiling pink baby,
Bears and the seal, Kingfisher and the blue fish in the basket,
Mickey and Minnie, the sandwich eating bear, chhota bheem with his friends on the tiles,
Old McDonald, Chai chai Coffee Coffee, and the mowgli song playing on the mobile.
You amidst all this,
Riding your panda car the wrong side,
The daily tricycle ride with the treat of fruits, meeting doggies, cats, monkeys on the route,
The bathing ritual
with your upteem efforts to lick the talcum.
The little nose that you squeeze
Spreading love with your mouth saying cheese.
Warm hugs in the folds of your arms
The delight we feel enjoying your charms.
Pearls of laughter
Moments to cherish forever.
