The Child Is Born Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

The child is born
Friday,22nd Apr 2022
It becomes heaven on earth
Everybody holds the breath
when the cry is heard from the newborn
A smile turns on everybody's face
Especially girls get full attention
and is considered as Goddess incarnation
the prosperity may multiply
and there shall be happiness in the family
Some of the rich families
extend all the facilities
even in the excess
with love's trace on the face
with the advent of time
the girls see it with great surprise
as everybody is promising
what she wants and not missing even for a moment
old leaves leave
and new memories live
sometimes, the child fails to live
with the old memories
the child promptly adapts
and adopt
the reasonable approach
and as such, lives in the new environment
It spoils behavior
as a little change displeases her
she can't adjust
and looks at all with mistrust
