Bundle of Joy


His face, so divine, 
reflecting unfathomable peace,
His lips curved into a smile, 
the kind that fills the heart with unwavering faith,
His little angelic eyes, 
filled with hopes and dreams of tomorrow,
His delicate little fingers, 
curled around my finger,
A gesture –
that transforms everyday moments 
into the precious ones.
Great love fills the heart, 
a rich feeling of pride sets in,
As I hold him, my nephew, 
in my arms that at times,
Feel so incompetent to hold such bundle of joy.

My eyes … 
reflection of him in them,
Search for the traces of recognition in his.
I hope he knows,
How much he is loved each day.
