When you were born my son <br />it felt as if I was reborn. <br /> <br />Your tiny fingers touching my cheeks <br />were the softest thing my skin had ever felt <br />Kissing you for the first time, my heart got melt. <br /> <br />Shopping for your first toy <br />was my favorite experience <br />You peeing on me, was not a nuisance! <br /> <br />You reduced my sleeping hours <br />from nine to six <br />To make you sleep at night <br />I used in vain all my tricks. <br /> <br />Your first vaccination was the most painful experience I had <br />Never in life more helpless had I felt. <br /> <br />The first time I saw you walking <br />it looked as if the nature was dancing <br />The first time you said papa <br />My heart went gaga! <br /> <br />Your first day in school reminded me of my own <br />It was difficult leaving you alone. <br /> <br />It was a pleasure to see you climbing onto the school stage <br />Something I fear even at this age. <br /> <br />As you grew older <br />You became more of a company than a dependent <br />Whenever I scold you my son, later I repent. <br /> <br />Going to the park for a walk with you in the morning <br />is the best time of my day <br />My laughter on your jokes is sincere <br />I swear! <br /> <br />I love admiring you when you are asleep <br />When I sleep with you I feel your breath within me. <br /> <br />I love to hug you tight and feel your heart beat <br />Warmth of your body makes me feel complete. <br /> <br />Smell of your skin tastes so sweet <br />Purity of you reminds me of an ocean's deep. <br /> <br />I admit I fear losing you <br />Sometimes in my dreams I do lose you. <br /> <br />I thank your soul to choose me as your guardian <br />I promise I will help you reach your destination. <br /> <br />You are God's best gift to me <br />God, take care of my son <br />I am grateful to thee. <br /> <br />10.08.2011; New Delhi; India<br /><br />Anshul Gupta<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-seven-years-old-son/
