Poem: Baby Love
By Dr. Archan Mehta
I have spent my
Life loving you:
Singing to you
In a soft voice
Classic lullabies
And stories from antiquity,
Such as Snow White
And the Seven Dwarves,
Cinderella,
And Little Red Riding Hood.
I have filled your
Bath-tub with bubbles,
My dear, and offered you
A rubber ducky
To see you smile.
I have wandered
Across this earth
Trying to find gifts
Which you may hold dear
Like I hold you
Dear in my heart.
I can’t bear theÂ
Thought of you
Growing up and leaving
Me alone in this big house,
With only memories of you.
Instead,
Stay young forever
So I can fill this void
With you for company
Everlastingly,
Baby, please make
Me feel whole again.
