When my baby is crying
I sensed his hungry-ness
I tried to feed him butter rice
He turned his face away cutely to the left
I went left
He turned his face cutely to the right
I went right
He turned around
I lift him in one hand, with the bowl in another
He leaned over me and hid over my shoulder
When I am brooding in disappointment
A white bright slender moon ray stroke me
Through the wide open window
I felt lightened taking the Moon’s hint
I ran into the moonlit corridor
Showed my baby full blasting smiley moon
Saying:
See baby, Moon-mama is calling you
He raised his head up like a shot
Twinkling his honey gaze eyes
While I feed him secretly
He gulped it in a single strike
As if he didn’t know what he was eating
Who was feeding
But a wonderingly glance up above the moon
Suddenly he shook his head
When he got moon out of sight
Hid behind puffy clouds
But luring him with his light spilled all over
Soon he noticed my sweet trapping
Baby started crying
He wanted Moon mama to come out
Talk to him smiling
I consoled him saying:
See baby,
Moon mama has hid a grandma there
Under a tree on his land
She got a magic wheel she spins always
And get all the magic toys for the kids like you
In an instant he looked up above to Moon
For the lady wondering she gives a toy for him
While I feed him secretly
He gulped it in one strike
As if he didn’t know what he was eating
Who was feeding
But a wonderingly glance up above the Moon
Suddenly he shook his head
When he got moon out of sight
Hid behind puffy clouds
But luring him with his light spilled all over
Soon he noticed my sweet trapping
Baby started crying
He wanted moon mama to come out
Talk to him smiling
I consoled him saying:
See baby,
Moon mama is welcoming you to his home
He wanted you to follow his pace
As he is on the way to his
Passing all the dazzling stars
Pristine pale blue sky
Passing all the wavy draped cloud fans
All the constellations
All the space webs and wonders
To his cool abode
That shares you warm affection
Sangfroid love
Kisses from all the stars
He didn’t know when he ate to the last morsel
He is yawning already looking into the empty bowl
I pressed him to my heart
Dabbed over his back
Until he fell asleep
Dreaming his playing in moon Mama’s home
With the galaxic star kids
Till the next morning
When he wakes up to me
With a wide spread smile flourished all over his lips
Bye bye moon mama
See you tomorrow
Every tomorrow,,💙🧡💛💚
