Her First smile....

We lived a life compromising...
For I knew she was my better half...
We longed for our life to get better...
Every moment of our life brought excitement...

Now an year has passed and I stand out with she in Labor..
I wish to take her pain.. But its a girl's destiny..
For I know that she would forget her pain when she sees our soul..
I stand near the doorway holding a rosary...
God, thanks for the moment of joy and pain...

I saw the Nurses rush in, those were the moments that scared me...
Now I see the Doctor step out into the hallway...
He heads to me with no smile and asked me...
"Baby or your Wife...?"
Oh God... let this time pass by...

She was there through my ups and downs...
Now she is waiting to deliver me our hopes and love..
The Baby within has not seen the world..
The Baby's destiny now rests with me...
I told... "Both... for they are the ones I have in this world..."

I see him turn around with a smile...
For he was sure to save one...
After a while I saw him step out into the hall way...
You have your world and your soul back... It's a Baby Girl...

I felt tears rolling down my cheek... I had no one to hug...
I held the rosary close and tight and thanked my Lord...
Hours later I saw her on the bed and my kid in incubator..
I walked first to my girl for she stepped into my life with trust...

I held her arms and thanked for making our life special...
For then I kissed her... It was salty for the toil and pain she had been through..
I see the tears of joy roll down her cheek...
Now I stepped out to see my baby...

She lay in the incubator for her birth was a miracle...
She had tubes to help her survive...
She lay still and then moved her arms...
Her eyes closed and talking to angels she lay...

Months have passed... now she is between us..
Growing up in love and protection of her parents..
She seemed to have realized her Dad
For everyday I spoke to her in the womb...

Her skin was tender and needed care...
Now I see her lips try to talk...
She cries and calls out Mom to feed...
One day she smiled speaking her first word, "Dada..."

I had mixed feelings for me and my soul were all alone
We had no one to share our joys in this part of world..
I took her in my arms and kissed my love..
For the blessing of Lord was delivered by my Love...
Oh Lord... I never believed my life to change for her smile is magical...
