My Baby Teeth Poem by Puspanjali Sahu

My Baby Teeth



When you came in
my life
I cried
The ache in my gums
made me search ways
to pull you out
and throw away

But when I started losing you
slowly
one by one
Again, I cried
I thought I lost something,
I needed most

Now the holes you left behind
were filled with stronger bones,
and nobody knows
whether having you
has its pros and cons

But sometimes past
of me with you
pierced into my present

and made me realize

You were there
to give me
softest laugh of my life,
memories of which
can make me smile
till I die

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Baby teeth are something that will come in our life but will not stay. They are the sweet memories of our life…like school days, college days, bunking classes, night out with friends or sometimes chatting over stupid things for long hours.
As we move on in life, sometimes we think baby teeth were not needed. Why they came in our life. But look into pics of those not so wisely spend days with friends. I am sure, you will smile and happily miss those days
Hope you understand now why you had baby teeth, when you had to lose them.
Your smile will never look that good with strong teeth as those are with your baby teeth
