Child

You are like a flower
Your fragrance so lovely
It fills my every hour,
Your innocence is heavenly
Touched only by the first rays of dawn,
My child, you were loved
Even before you were born,
Your laughter is like ripples in water
The moments of which find place
In the lanes of
Centuries of history's ruins and escalations,
I can hear your voice in your silence
Though you speak through your eyes
Words of love
That finds its ultimate expression,
Your sleep is like a peace
Uninhibited by ambitons of deceit,
Are you dreaming my child
Where fairies and angels attain life,
You open your eyes to the light
Where veil of darkness
Is lifted to pure wisdom,
Where superstition gives way to reason,
Those eyes that are searching
For the uncharted territory of love & affection
Where human bonds are set anew,
Where demarcations of boundries vanish
And arms and ammunition lose,
My child, when your tiny hand clasp mine hand
All tumult in me are stilled into oblivion
Everything might have been lost for me
But those fingers give my life a reason
