"You were tiny"

"You were tiny"

Your hands would disappear in my palms..

When I hug you, your fluffy hair was visible only between my arms..

You were so small.. As a bird..

I used to get scared running around. Your heart will stop..

I was growing you day by day.

My eyes will pop out of their sockets with excitement.

When I see you grow up,

It never occurred to me that "I will witness your departure".

I understand My soul will burn..

I'm not angry.. I give it to your ignorance..

But even as you go, "You were tiny"..

That's why your loves will always remain children.
