Baby Blues & Pinks..and Rainbows..for that matter

Introducing the one born to take care of those moments when I can almost hear my biological clock ticking. My neighbour’s kid. Don’t u be judging me. Here’s what some famous people have to say in my defence:

"No animal is so inexhaustible as an excited infant." -Amy Leslie

"You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance." - Franklin P. Jones

"A child is a curly, dimpled lunatic." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth." - Peter Ustinov

"People who say they sleep like babies usually don't have them". - Leo J. Burke

"I don't know why they say "you have a baby." The baby has you." -Gallagher

"Raising kids is part joy and part guerilla warfare." - Ed Asner

"Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit." -- Bill Cosby

JLT

Does love really exist,
or is it just a rosy veil to cover
the need for emotional and financial sustenance?

Is a sacrifice really that noble and altruistic,
or does it hint towards
A self destructive nature?

Has joy and happiness really been felt or
Is it simply in the anticipation of good surprises that
We find solace?

Is one ever actually with someone or
Is everyone forever alone?

I have felt that need for survival in
another’s love for me and
in my love for someone else.
Giving away bits of me has always been a relief.
I have experienced that sorrow always is and
Happiness is forever to be.
I have stood alone in many a madding crowd.

P.S: JLT was inspired by ...you know..one of those moments when profundity and a sense of uselessness collide....and there was no coffee in the house. Why did i post it on a day later..Just Like That

I can fall in love with anyone,
if left around that person long enough!!
