Barely talking
Walking wobbling;
Utterly stubborn
Even at the busiest hours;
Banging at my door.
Yet those four teeth are all it takes
To make my day.

Beautiful in pink;
In red, in blue and white.
Eyes twinkling;
At times tears spilling.
As messy as she could be,
Yet those four teeth are all it takes
To make the sun rise in glee.

Arms reaching out;
Wanting to be held and hugged.
Even at times when I’m busy and fatigued,
I could forget everything,
Life depending on that beautiful pout.
For I know those four teeth are all it takes
To bring a glow on my face.

Every time she moves with the music,
Rejoicing and swaying;
Every time she starts howling,
When I walk out of the door;
Every time she wakes up;
Eyes wide and that sleepy smile.
And it’s magic all over again.
It never needs any reminding;
That those four teeth are all it takes
For life to start all over again.

I’ve been there when she was born;
And I’ve been the first one to kiss those fairy cheeks;
I’ve held her;
Loved her;
And I knew she needed me;
Little did I know how much I would start needing her;
In the course of time.
I’ve seen her toothless;
And I’ve seen one by one those rabbit teeth popping out;
Until they became the fabulous four!

She yells;
Always demanding.
She laughs;
Gloating and rolling.
Sloppy kisses, throbbing bites
Are all I get, day and night.
With those eyes round with amazement;
Seeing and feeling the new world;
I find life and love;
Fresh with promises and cupid’s arrow rain.
If you must know, then those four teeth are all it takes,
For the world to turn out all right.

Beautiful pixie;
Those four teeth of yours
Produce the best smile on earth
And I would do anything to ensure,
That you grow up without any fear;
I would want to build a fairytale bubble around you;
That would protect you,
Wrap you with all the love and smiles.
But then I know that I would want you to be a fighter;
So that you could ward off all the evil;
So that you could help all those who need;
And when time comes when someone is in dreadful pain;
Baby you must know that your four teeth are all it would take;
For life to be beautiful any day, always.
