My Little Angel

Stretching her tiny little hand,

She picks up cold wet sand.

I shake my head mouthing no,

She glares right back, as a foe.

Rolling my eyes, I turn back,

Knowing her anger is just a fake.

Then I hear her tagging along,

Walking behind, humming a song.

I smile at my adorable niece,

Her face reflects absolute peace.

A perfect replica of her mother,

Her voice is as sweet as sugar.

Night and Day she always chatters,

But who said it ever bothers.

I never get bored in her presence,

This li’l angel is my life's essence.

Gone

I sat at the edge of a rock,

Propped up on my lap was a book.

My thoughts were hundred miles away,

I was trying hard not to think of that day.

I stared down at the memory lane,

Days filled with nothing but pain.

He used to look into my eyes,

Oh, those feelings were ever so nice.

Then he goes and breaks my heart, 

Wish we should have been miles apart.

At least then I’d be relieved of this ache,

And it’s just that my heart would never break

I wonder why him I think of even now,

When all he did was break the vow.

I stand, wiping my tear stained face,

And walk alone; my thoughts in a daze.

Things have changed, oh my love,

I know you are watching from above.

The sorrow that you caused when you died,

There is not a single day I never cried.

Your love filled arms are all I need,

I don’t know where my life will lead.

From deep within I wish you rest in peace,

And thus I go to sleep awaiting next sunrise.
