Wide eyes like buttons, Enrapturing the folks; Twinkling with innocent strokes Of mischief and zest.

Her toothless grin peeking, Through clouds of fluffy cheeks, Animating her face; her radiance — Like golden sun streaks.

Gurgles of laughter At being tickled by Daddy; Tears and whimsies to be the center of his Universe;

Early morning long drives, or virtual rides in the stroller, Guffawing the whole time; But her favorite seat Being Daddy's back; Alternate rounds of falling, climbing, never tiring her ever!

Curiosity, her sparkle; Little brain full of why’s, Observing and absorbing Every teeny tiny detail!

Living up to her name, Her childhood an Era of magic, an enchantment of her parents' world; that no wand could ever create!

Thank you for reading!

This is an Ode to my Niece Era who’s now 9 months old. I’ve never really been around kids, so she’s practically the first little human with whom I’ve interacted. I haven’t met her for four months, due to being under lockdown in different cities. Her daily videos via WhatsApp are the only way. She’s a bundle of cuteness and innocence coming up with new quirks everyday and entertaining everyone around.
