SMILE
We are a blissful family of four,
Didn't think we needed someone more,
As a group, we stroll towards the shore,
And gaze the sunset which we all adore.
I looked to my left and there I see,
Delighted expressions of the girl as big as me,
Smiling while playing the hands of the tiny,
The tiny little palms of her sister Aimee.
I watched them and then I smiled,
I then looked at my brother for a while,
And asked him "Don't you want a little sister?"
He answered, "Can we find her on Easter?"
Since then I prayed, every morning and night,
That God will give us a little ray of sunlight,
Didn't miss even a single moment,
To express my intentions to the omnipotent."
One day, I grasped the answer to my prayer,
When I noticed my mom's bump got bigger,
I again prayed for it to be a girl,
So I can give her my earrings of pearl.
The day has come and my mom's in agony,
Hours passed and we heard the whine of a baby,
As I sprinted towards my mom like a spree,
The nurse got out and said, "It's a she".
There you are, so fragile and tiny,
Lying on top of our mom so weary,
Though you just lay there and cries,
You brought tears of joy and smiles."
Thank you for reading.
XOXO,
