The wallpaper of my phone
And that of my laptop,
Took me back to the times
Of sleepless days and nights.
.
Oh! It seems like yesterday,
That the house was filled
With constant wailings of
Hunger, pain, sleep or needing a hug.
.
Oh! How I miss those,
Tiny hands that reached out,
Tiny legs that stumbled over,
Lovely eyes and chubby cheeks that mesmerized.
.
Their first toothless smile,
Their grasp, soft yet firm,
Their first steps, unsteady yet confident,
Are still fresh in my mind.
.
How I wish, to cuddle both
Together in my arms like before,
How I wish, my life froze,
When they were just toddlers.
