Pampered and Radiant...

Pamper Some More (Image Source)

Dusk has come

Moon is winking

Time has come

For slumber now

My little darling

Is charmingly active

The effort starts

To put him to sleep

Summer Days

Call for a bath

Winter ones

Just a change of clothes

Before putting on

Soft, comfy night clothes

It is important to

Pamper him right

To keep him

Dry and comfortable

Through the long night

As I said, dress him right

I have been advised

By quite a few

That diapers may not

Be the right choice though

I know from experience

Being mother of two
Diapers help them sleep well

And be healthy too

Sleeping for him

Is not just rest
His brain is working
To explore some more

My sound sleep

Thanks to his

Is just a bonus, I say

With a smiling face

Now that he’s dressed

The way he should be

For a night of dreams -

Restful and beautiful

We spend some time-

My husband and I

Having fun with him –

Our darling baby

We talk to him

We tickle him

We bounce him a little

And then some more

There’s baby talk

And giggling in the air

Life is good, I think,

With silent, grateful prayers

Fun and frolic

Tires him a little

He is ready

For a story still

I enjoy discovering

With my little one

The world of fairies

And some good demons too

I have explored with my child

 Dr Seuss and Roald Dahl

Both of which I never knew

In my young days, alas

Together the two of us

Have slayed a few dragons

Each fairy tale is a

Personal mission

Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella

Are happy today

Thanks to the fun efforts

Of my little one and I

We enjoy bagheera

And mowgli’s adventures

And growl and giggle

When Sher Khan comes

Family Fun time

A little reading too

My precious darling

Is relaxed in his bed now

A little prayer of thanks

We say now

Thanking Almighty for

The wonderful times

I hum lullabies

While patting his back

His eyes still struggle

To be open though

I smile at his effort

To be awake for more fun

It’s good to see him happy

And contented too

My arm is his pillow

That’s his way

I love letting him

Cuddle closely

Once he’s asleep

It’s not easy though

Without disturbing my angel

To pull out the arm now

That done now

The little one asleep

I still lay there

For a few minutes still

Enjoying the silence

Of happiness and smiles

What lingers on is

The delight in the air

Pampered and radiant
My little one sleeps

His lashes flutter a little

He’s dreaming, I feel

The tiny lips

Curve  into a smile

I can sit here all night

Watching him rest

I wrote this one in response to a blogging event to promote a certain diaper brand, which is obvious :)
The thing is that on re-reading it a few years after I wrote it, I am kind of impressed of the way I merged my poetry into the diapery needs...
