nights like this

yet another long night with your cries breaking the silence of the quiet cold night.
i was lost and could not find the reason.
i could only guess and analyze the possible causes of your discomfort.
could you be too cold, hungry or just lonely and want more cuddles?

i grabbed the nearest socks which belongs to daddy
and wore it on your little feet
put some oil and rubbed your chest and tummy
played a gentle lullaby
hugged and walked you to sleep
changed your nappy
fed you some milk
and then
you fell asleep
just like that.

and just before i left the room,
i saw your chin hurt from the fall the other day
with blood stains on your shirt
my heart ached
how could i not think of that earlier
how could i be mad when you cried non stop just now.

i kissed you
and apologised
and then i could not sleep
but drew you again tonight
because i love you so much
and wished i could record
every moment i spend with you
even just gazing at you fell sleep
just like this

night like this are long
but i wont be sleepless forever
because one day
you will outgrown all this
and you will sleep well my dear
