A sequel to my poem 'A Lullaby For Tasha'
My little granddaughter, Tasha
now a big girl, nine months old.
I try to put her to sleep
attempting to ‘sing' a lullaby
‘Omanathingal kidavo -nalla
komala thaamara poovo oo'
My voice hoarse and harsh,
rendition cacophonical
shooed the angels of sleep
away from her dreamy eyes
After a while, failed miserably
I stopped my audacious effort;
now she started to sing
a finer lullaby for me
'aaaeeeaaa gaagoooo
bnnn ohhhh', she sang!
I struggled, immersed in her love,
to keep myself awake!
