Delightful Features

Scribbling on a piece of paper,
I displayed my thoughts that are my treasures…

Lifting my head I saw,
a pure face that so delightful…

I pondered at it for a while….
And saw a smile so wide…

The smile accompanied small eyes
When opened shall make you fly

Those delightful features
Belong to no strangers…

For they rest across my sister's face
Who displays them when the moon's unlaced…

May you shine everyday dearest one…
