A Joyous Memory

When my son was small,
I would place my hands over him
and he would doze off without fear

One day he placed his hands over me.
Tiny, tender hands on my back
soft like a flower
gave much joy.

That moment is etched in my memory
Still gives joy every time I remember it

Most happiest moments of life are small
but give joy endlessly

Collect many such happy memories 
Recollect them as often as possible
