Lakshmi Krishna
A toddler saw an infant,
Was amazed in an instant;
"Mama,what is this creature?"
"Quiet ! now I can't lecture".
"Can I please touch it?
Its clothes are sadly misfit".
"Oh! no,don't try any trick,
For he may fall sick".
"I want to kiss it so,
Show it to my cute bro,
He will tell me what to do,
And I will play with it too"
"Stop calling the baby 'it',
For he is not a nitwit.
He will grow just like you
And turn a toddler true".
"You too looked just like him,
Helpless,tiny and trim,
At the time you were born,
Appearing innocent and forlorn ".
But we fed you Mama's milk,
And although like a stick,
You soon grew plump and strong,
But we loved you all along".
