Binu- My Universe

Cuddled unto my bosom,

Holding his chin barely above 

My shoulder, tries to 

Raise his head

To see the big,big world

Before him, while we take

Our daily, rather hurried walk

Giving his mama 

 Time to tidy up.

His big, bright, marble eyes

Glint to see all

 The green before him.

His nappy is rolled up.

I feel the smooth skin

Of his tiny buttocks, 

Velvety to the touch.

His feeding time is a marvel.

While sucking like a puppy,

He plays with mamma's hands

And stops for a second

To show her a toothless gum

And a series of coo s.

His biggest smile is reserved for his seeya

While he needs me

When he is bored to death

On the bed!

He holds on to his mama 

For his food, sleep and  for comfort.

But when his papa,clad in a bath towel,

Comes after an evening shower,

Binu forgets them all

And jumps to him

Leaving his nappy 

And everything behind.
