A Lullaby For My Daughter Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

My sweet bundle of joy
A rare gift from the wedlock
I sing for you in this night

When you are being blessed
By the tiny hands of the stars and
The glorious smile of the moon

My voice echoes against
The walls that with so much
Patience and efforts I have made
To stand to protect you

My sweet bundle of joy
As I hold you in my lap
And see your toothless smile
My heart melts like butter

And when I lift you
I feel like I am squeezing
A part of me into my heart
