My Little Girl, My Daughter

Depths of ocean in her eyes
Stir up waves of emotions so true
Nightly dark they are
With sunlight shining through

With pampering soft paws
She gently touches my hand
Letting me know she’s here for me
Never leaves me feeling loneliness

Stubborn with intelligence
Licks filled with love
She flicks her tri-colored hair
While playing lying on her back
Waiting for a nice belly rub

She runs like a wind to get it
She’s tiny but knows to win
Her tug of war game
Especially when you throw her favorite toy

Walks on the carpeted floors
Dirt she doesn’t like to touch
Clean litter box she uses
When no one is seeing
For privacy is big with her
So do not disturb her
When she goes to empty her belly

Hand fed little angelic diva
Fresh cooked white rice
With chicken protein and mixed veggies
She loves the aroma and demands for it

Strong little girl she has always been
Through the nights and days
She’s been by me
Long flights to India
Long car rides for outings
Without a word of complain
She traveled asking for no food or water
But only to be held close in her pouch
So she can lay her head on my shoulder
Listening to my heartbeat

Never drools for her favorite food
When her belly is full
She knows to stop eating after her burp
Then sipping through her bowl of water
She lay on her stomach

Sleeping on her own side of bed
Pushing me with her little paws
If I dare slip on her side
She knows to put me back on track
When ever I go off track.

My Princess indeed
Loves to dress up
Pro in smiling for the cameras
…She’s my little girl
My angel, my daughter
Beautiful Shitzu, a royal breed
Without whom by my side
I refuse to open my eyes
Without whose kisses on my face
I can’t go for my beauty sleep
For she’s my nurse attending my wounded heart
She’s my mother who sits by me when I’m sick
She’s my best friend who listens to me
She’s the kid every mother would dream of
And I’m the lucky one to have her in my life

Balushahi, named after Indian dessert
Sweetest of all dipped in pure sugar
That’s who my little girl really is.
