Poem: Baby Love

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 the 

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.
