Holding on..

Every time they cuddle up to me while sleeping
Its simply a wonderful feeling..
How they don't want to let go off me
How they cry and hug me

In the hour when the sleep deepens 
Its just then, their cry awakens 
Totally flustered I wake up clueless
My heart softens in an instant when I see them hopeless

Every time they wake to check for my presence
And cry when they realize my absence,
Felt, they so limit my options and time
Realized, I am their only world and they are truly mine!

They fill my world with laughter and joy
They are truly a bundle of joy
Keeping me on my toes and oh! so fussing
Always playful, exploring and messing

A thought often bothers me
Of the empty space that shall create within me
When they are ready to let go off me
I pray sincerely, they treasure our bond for eternity..
