The baby Abhi

Few days ago I visited a malnutrition orphanage

Age of newly born to the three years of old

Oh so adorable and beautifully created in God's image

I pray God to warm them whenever they feel cold.

Six cots each filled with a pillow and two soft toys

Oh so sweet looked at me without blinking her eyes

Interested to see a new person with a loving voice

Oh she's been taken by a family who'll be nice.

I went to another room filled with laughter and tears

Two were crying, two were sick and others were playing

Eight beds clean and neat with caring eyes and ears

Who tend to those who are in need of gentle training.

There is a boy who is nine months old

I called him 'Abhi' who is so cute and bold

Reached out to me with hands stretched out

With a smile, so how to say "NO" to such a friendly soul.

I hugged and kissed those chubby cheeks so soft

I whispered a song of Jesus' love to him

I think he liked me and I couldn't put him to his cot

Well, I too thought of bringing him home with me.

I visited on the 07/01/2013 with my big brother and his family. It was a wonderful experience. It was very sad to hear about the backgrounds of each kid before they came to the orphanage.

It's a good thought but I'm not really ready

It's a big responsibility as I'm not fit to be

My mom said that she knows what is best for me

If I want, I can sponsor and visit monthly.
