Holy Child

I met a cute little girl in the staircase

I was surprised by the sweet words of the little child
She was standing on the staircase holding the railing
She was a   sweet little girl and her look was mild
I looked at her and wondered if she was ailing

But,she was in good health and looked quite bright
She requested  me in fondling voice to call her mother
She told me that she was alone in home and took  fright
Looking around I found none to look after her

I wanted to comfort  her through words for some time
Asked her name  and tried to make her smile
She told her name and recited a nursery rhyme 
I thought that her mother would come in a while

She looked   happy and I thought to leave her alone
I assured her that her mother would come soon
But,she was not ready to see me gone
I became surprised again as I was not at all known

She wanted someone to stay with her for protection
I  felt very pleased to see the wit of the  little girl
She knew how to capture someone's attention
I wanted to call her as a lovely  blessed pearl

My waiting with the little girl did not last too long
I heard footsteps on the staircase sometime later
A woman came hurriedly  and felt something wrong
The girl's face became brighter and she looked better

I told her mother that the child was gripped by fear
Her mother looked   strangely as if nothing happened
The holy child sought caress and  tried to cheer
I felt relaxed to think that the crisis came to the end

To tell the truth I recently started reading the poems except russian poets.
So creativity foreign poets is new for me, at least without being translated into Russian :) I really like your poem.
Children are the symbol of innocence and you created the image of infinite light.
Reading your poem helped me to forget about some sad things. Thank you very much

An interesting story shared in this well constructed poem. You have employed tight rhyme and that lends well to the easy flow of words and thought. Write on my friend.

Dear zainul,

What child is not holy when entrusted into our care? Such a trust. Such a duty.

I loved it :)
Sometimes a strange and sweet connection is made between both which becomes memorable. Well i think a bonding doesn't look for age, intelligence or any criteria. Its all about feelings between both which just happen and soon we start enjoying the company. Of course with positive intentions :)
Nice job :)

[Rogue]

As usual you touched my heart with your warm descriptive words. To read you is to look through your eyes and see the innocence and wonder around us. Always a treasure, my friend.

I sent you a message on this and I hope you don't mind. Just something I noticed...

Beautiful piece, Dear One. :)

This is our mutual pleasure.:)

[Angel]

Innocence, purity, love, trust...these beautiful things shine from the child's eyes.
It is only the guilty that have reason to be suspicious...
Ahhh, if we could only hang on to that childhood innocence!

Very lovely piece, I enjoyed it very much.
