Precious Moments

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.
