Little Beth..

The clock struck nine..
And she completed her Rhyme..

Her mother clapped..
And she was all smile!

Wearing a red frock..
Elizabeth jumped in joy;

When her mother handed over to her-
A shiny new toy..

O' my little Beth,
Be a little poised-

Said Mother to her,
Disturbed by her noise..

Mother! Mother!
Why do you always shout? -

Asked Little Beth..
Speaking her heart out!

Calm and quiet-

Is how a girl is ought to be..
Because for your entire life..
You won't stay with me!

Hearing her mother, saying this..
Beth had tears in her eyes..and she asked her mother-
To give her a kiss!

O' Mother, I never want to leave you..
Mother said-
This is what exactly I said to MY Mother..
When I was you..

Beth was sleepy,
She fell asleep on Mother's lap..
The woman cuddled Little Beth..
And she too, fell for a nap.. ||
