The Circle
A toothless smile
The chubby hands
Playing with mama’s hair
She nestled happily
That first tooth
That knowing smile
With mama and papa
She crawled around
That hesitant step
That first fall
With loud encouragement
She moved along
That first day of school
First step outside the house
With tears in mama’s eyes
She said goodbye
That first boyfriend
The feeling of excitement
With fear in papa’s heart
She flowed rapidly by
That little broken heart
The feeling of end of the world
With tears on the pillow
She learnt a lesson
The day of her marriage
The smell of new clothes
Tears in loved ones eyes
She silently left
That little angel
She carried lovingly
She became a mother
The circle was complete.
