The Cute Little
Girl
with her big round
eyes
watching the world
in world in wonder,
while hopping by my
side
“Oh! Look a Puppy”,
she screams in
delight.
claps her little
hands together,
her eyes shining
bright.
she runs towards
the puppy
with all the force
she could
her feet hitting
the bumpy ground
as careless as only
she would
crouched and bent
on her knees
she moves her hand
cautiously
eyes and mouth
round up in wonder
as she pats the
puppy gently
save for the puppy,
she is deaf, dumb
and blind
the little girl in
her excitement
has left me all
behind
her tiny hands and
head move
as I watch her from
afar
engrossed is my
girl in her moment
of which I am not a
part
and I hate to think
of the day
when she will
perhaps run so far
I wouldn’t be able
to see her
nor would she feel
apart
but as I gaze into
the distance
her tiny head turns
to the right
and a frown appears
on my girl’s face
when she doesn’t
find me beside
she turns her head
and smiles again
as her roving eyes
find me
and gets up she
& runs the same
As she did towards
the puppy
my worries gone, my
heart warms up
as I see her
running towards me
the spring in her
steps, the joy in her eyes
are all, but, for
me.
holding my hand and
tugging it hard she says,
“Daddy, look what a
cute pup”
and runs again,
with her hand in mine
as I struggle to
keep up
down we sit on our
knees
she takes my hand
towards the pup
and placing it on
it ever so gently
she so expectantly
looks up
her eyes filled
with innocence and love
make this moment so
true
the pup, the grass,
the sky and now
I am a part of the
moment too
