My Little Angel

To have and to hold
the baby I anticipated so much
in my arms
where she belongs

My dear little angel
staring up back at me
as I held her in my arms
in that memorable moment
of the tenth day in the tenth month
five years after millennium

On the twentieth minute
of the second hour
as early as before dawn
her sweet, high-pitched voice
broke the silence of the ward
where she was the only baby born
on that fateful morning

Sensing the difference in warmth
and ambience
startled by her own voice
her big eyes gazed around
with awe and fascination
curiously searching
for a maternal voice
she heard before

With a new feeling of weight
three point three six kilograms
my little angel flew
from one pair of arms to another
where she finally reached
her daddy’s secured arms
in which she knew
where the true support would be

Such an adorable angel
melts any heart
who set eyes on her
and undeniably melts
her parents heart
the most

Being the tiniest in the room
with the height of half a metre
she confidently
captured everyone’s affection
with her enthusiasm
to know the world
through her wild stares

It is a wonder
how a little angel
is brought out to the world
just swept all and sundry
off their feet

That’s my little angel
the gift from God
who brings strength and virtue
to those who seek them
such a seeker is me…
