Watching the two of you...

July 2018...

Watching you sleep

so peacefully my baby...

wish to continue the rhythm

from within me...

--------------------- 

I call you Laado

I call you Shona, Paato,

Golgappa, Gobi aloo

cheeku, channa meraya

and of course, motiiiiii....

And you put your small arms around me,

cheekily refusing to let me kiss you.

Love your innocence,

and yes, love your arrogance too!

What to do?

-------------------- 

You are growing up just fine,

but I find you lanky now.

Mush is there somewhere

waiting to appear...

Its just teenage beginning for you

and look at what you do,

measuring yourself against me all the time!

------------------ 

And what's that you do

Dab, dab, dab...

your little sis copying you

In equal madness

you spill around.

Dame' t'Casito

Fun to watch you two

perform like aliens,

so naturally...
