All hope lost, gloom and misery
They said I could never be a Aai.
Then you came along, miracle child,
And I was happy.
The first moment I held you
Your little face turned up to mine
A wrinkled up nose, a lusty cry,
And I was happy.
Your little head on my chest
Unseeing eyes looking to me
Little fingers curling around mine,
And I was happy.
Then you smiled at me, a toothless grin
Called out to me, "Aai!"Held my hand to steady your step,
And I was happy.
Now as you toddle along
Come to me for a cuddle and a kiss
My heart swells with love and pride
And I know I am happy.
Aw what a beautiful poem x
