Thank you, little one

by Sanku

You held me in rapt attention
as you gurgled in excitement
your baby feet kicked the air
and your tiny fingers held mine tight.

Like a brook you babbled on
tales of innocence laced in silver laughs
knitted brow and puckered lips
when stories took a serious turn

My anxieties melted away as you 'gooed
to tell me nana would be fine
you would soon sit on his lap
and regale him with your baby tales'.

My husband had to undergo a total hip replacement surgery as a result of fall.My son and daughter-in-law came down with their baby girl to be with me during this time, since he had a cardiac problem that caused us a lot of worry.It was the presence of the little one that kept my anxieties away .Thank you, little one, for all the stories you told me in your baby lingo.
Thank you very much,Liilia for this artwork. 'nana' means grandfather.
