A start of loving moments

She woke up and heard

 something happening around,

a new little brother's born,

in the bedroom she found
Now on she d’ elder sibling,

lips apart, perpetually watching

Just before 5am, not yet dawn,

in a sleepy voice asked me, "mom,

wish to cuddle d’ baby, can I come? “

Sensed concurrence in my looks,

came forward for a quick cuddle

just then d’ ambulance arrived,

and took us to Hospital

My docile four-year-old,

a li'l brother arrived, feels bold

Maiden photo of my two kids,

utterly majestic indeed

One fuzzy eyed but proud,

 d’ other crying & confused

having just come into d' world
 from a prolonged amniotic bath

evidently superb, beautiful

ardour terrific, unbelievable

And as days passing on

d’ elder admires very often,

baby returns the feeling,

to hear sister’s voice,

his eyes gleaming

Giggles with joy to see her face

moves all for limbs skywards,

 turns restless

Not very different from his sister,

4 years gap in age, hardly matters

Wishes to prove its supremacy

crawls ahead fast to gulp items

as if to taste d’ delicacy

she's gaining liberty, 
heads off to preschool,

other still a baby in my arms, lying cool

But both clicked right from d’ start

in similar fashion each behaved smart

Span of pregnancy, 
a long period to a child

 revealed it right from d’ start, 
 never wish to hide,

Better hear from us in a simple way,

no vague queries at a later day

Yet one day calmly a demand done,

“Mom I don’t want d’ baby to be born”

Thoughts verbalized and

 from d’ gap in lips flowed,

Her activities to be curtailed,

 her bosom friend has told

Pal’s hustle bustle stopped,

when her sister was born,

all freedom ruined as days went on

I assured about her skating lessons,

gymnastics, dance class to be kept on

Crisis averted with repeat reminders,

All along pregnancy she, a follower

Looked a bit strange,to see

 shape of mom’s tummy change

We took her to ultrasounds

me on d’ couch, she moved around

Let her feel d’ baby kick,

to realize d’ little one growing big

Both to grow up in changing situation

priority selection my option

Each has a place in the family,

no liberty granted to be unruly

It’s time, meticulously preparing,

she ought to learn sharing

We’re so meaningful to each other,

welfares, for all family members

Gently alters our combination,

to realize we’ve a new addition

Baby’s put close to her play place,

 to ease her out, not to be restless

Baby may encroach her domain,

if toys meddled, not to be shaken

But as time passes on,

clashes, arguments they’ll learn

Obviously nothing atypical,

a start of loving moments as usual
