My Niece! Poem by harshika ram

The day has come, i was waiting for
My niece - she is finally born.
I looked at her with a lot of pride and took her in my arms...
I hugged her close and cradled her with tears in my eyes!

She smiled at me with those rosy lips
And kept her hand in mine.
I grinned at her and began to laugh
As she pinched my nose and pulled my hair.

I was surrounded by many people,
Each wanting to lift her up,
As she was passed from one person to another
I felt my tears fall from eyes!

As months passed by and i just realized
My just born niece was a 1 year old!
She began to sit, to walk, to play
She became all naughty in a uncontrollable way.

She lives in a state so far away
A state called Andra Pradesh!
I got to see her every summer
She surprises me always in a different way!

And now i can't believe she grown so much
She's 2 and 1/2 already!
She so mischievous and stubborn girl
She get's her way with a tantrum as well.

Now she's gonna a big sister
And in a few months a 3 year old!
I am so proud of her, my little niece.
She is the best in the world, no child can be!
