Navya

Navya

26th September 2007

September sixteenth, a day of the Sun
Lo! It augurs a life full of fun
At daybreak on this autumnal morn
Heaven’s resident angel, NAVYA was born.

She came unto the Earth with Heaven’s bounty
With complexion fairer than Yorkshire county
Features as perfect as a princess in bloom
Never again, would a day of gloom!!

Abhishek, the king of Bengal’s clime
Nitika, the queen of Punjab sublime
Met at wonderland and married,
A Match Made in Heaven is never tarried

It pleases God when clean souls meet
So He gifted them with a daughter sweet
Who’ll have Punjab’s beauty and Bengal’s grace
Who, with equal aplomb, will both rich cultures embrace.

She, so young, has perfectly formed features
Seen rarely, only on destiny’s creatures
A forehead so high, grey matter et all
But she has beauty of the soul, best of all.

Navya’s inner incandescence shines through
A light so surreal, it is seen in so few
She is indeed not human, not of this earth
Made of stardust, it is a Holy Birth.

From Koyeli, Jayanta, and little Brishti
We welcome joyously this Divine Srishti
Parents of daughters will only know
How these gifts from God will forever glow.

Navya, the New, will ring out the old
And welcome intrepid the unfettered & bold
Let her lead you in her Angelic ways
Through sleepless parenting nights, and drowsy days!!!

She will sleep when you’re awake, and will rouse you when you sleep
You’ll bones will ache, Your daily rest will be a brief blip
She’ll soil the bed clothing, and she’ll drivel all over
But all this is nothing, it is far from over.

She’ll sneeze and send you two in frightened spin
You’ll forever worry she’ll put in her mouth something unclean
But when she looks at you both with those trusting eyes
Oh My God! Your Time will stop (who says time flies?)

There is no better time, trust me, in a human life-span
Than to witness, out of one’s own, how a life began!!



----- joyously with you,
Jayanta, Brishti and Koyeli
