My little darling <br />I’ll take you to the zoo <br />You’ll surely enjoy it there <br />And there is ice-cream waiting for you <br /> <br />I’ll also take you to watch the sea <br />The waves thrashing and the golden beach <br />There is another land across the ocean <br />Far away, beyond your tiny reach <br /> <br />Not far away from there <br />Is a vast and noisy shipyard <br />Don’t make mischief, you’ll get hurt <br />I’ll stand by your side as your guard <br /> <br />Whatever you ask for my dear little one <br />I shall bring it for you; sure I will <br />I would move heaven and earth <br />For all your little wishes to fulfill <br /> <br />In your twinkling eyes with long eye lashes <br />Tears often sparkled and shone <br />Oh my poor darling! ! I shall never forget <br />Memories I’ll carry even after I’m gone <br /> <br />On your tiny legs silver anklets tinkle <br />As you toss around in your sleep <br />Smiling over you I wonder what you dream <br />Into your dreamland will you let me take a peep? <br /> <br />Climb onto my lap, my Angel <br />I’ll tickle you breathless and tell you a tale <br />The moral of the story never forget <br />In your years to come you will never fail. <br /> <br /> <br />25.06.2009<br /><br />Bindu Vidyadhar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-little-one-6/
