End of a rough day






My little one was feeling low, she said she didn't know why

First she was sulking, and then began to cry.

I wrapped her in a soft quilt, hugged her for a while

Read her funny Silverstein poems, till she began to smile.

I tucked her in her bed, snuggled and held her close

Then hummed her a lullaby, kissed her little nose

Now my little one is sleeping, so peaceful and carefree

I wish someone could along and do these things for me!


(wrote this after putting Nia to bed one night when she was 9 I think. Its amazong how real sequence of events can lend itself to poetry)
