Devi Me Ii My Childhood
Crawling for many days
my knees getting dark
my hands losing its soft touch
increasing anticipations on my mom's face
still soiling my clean panties
At last, my first step
joy shooting across mama's face
uncontrollable tears tumbling down her cheeks
me laughing,advertising my two milky teeth
a moment of pure joy incomparable
mama and i drowning in innermost love
My second step,
my legs wobbling mama stretching her arm
yearning for a hug
But no, my first heavy fall
a tear trying to fall
mama quickly compensates me
not willing to destroy the moment
compensating me with sweet breast milk
