You Little Creature
by
Gav. Varnica Bajaj
This poem expresses the feelings of a grandfather when he sees his grandson for the first time.
When you were born
You were totally unaware,
Of the leisure and luxury you wanted
You were an innocent soul at that moment who just didn’t
Seem to care.
You were like an angel; having a charming voice of a cuckoo
Playing in your imaginative world where nothing was harmful
Your eyes were such,
That even a tyrant would bow in front of you.
You had a spark; as if we received a shadow of God in you.
You little creature fidgeting with your toys, was the most peaceful
person
At that very minute in this world.
The trickle of my tiny tear drops didn’t stop,
Enrapt,
Looking at this little angel who didn’t have
Any intrigues or grudges,
Just free as a feather
I felt like capturing this moment
In a bottle forever and never let go
With a thought
“Would I find another memory like this before I die?”
You Little Creature
