LILIES AND ROSE

I rushed to the store
and bought a bouquet of lilies and a red rose.

I was like an enthusiastic guitar,
gleeful; cheerful and indeed, grateful.

I decorated the house with fairy lights
and the rooms with crimson ribbons and balloons.

I smile through the memories
as how on our first Valentine's Day
I proposed her with a ring of platinum
and bouquet of lilies!

Lilies are her favourite
and so are mine!
I love my babe,
I love her pleasant smile!

I remember brushing her cheeks with white lilies
and did I tell you
that her name too, is Lily!

Must be wondering
why I bought a red rose!?
Let me tell you as I drive along.

An hour ago,
Lily gave birth to a baby girl,
who owns that velvet rose
and happiness of many more!

Perfect. I reached in time.
There's my family.
Mom, dad, in-laws.
Numerous smiles;
blooming happiness.
The moment, I wish I could pause!

I push the door
and see my lifelines;
my queen and my princess!

"Papa's here with lovely lilies
and Wow, a crimson rose! ", she says
as I kiss her forehead
and hand her the bouquet I bore.

I look at my precious child.
Her daddy-like features
and mom-like skin pinkish white!

The rose adorns my angel
as I rest her in my arms.
I gently peck her little fingers
and pray,
"let there be more love in the world my lord,
for I'm blessed with so much;
what more can I want! "
