What can I say

"Please peel this orange, Mommy",
she said.
I was busy, so, "I can't",
I said.

She asked again
if I can do it for her.
I refused again
while handling the dishwasher.

She hanged around, hoping,
I might do in some time.
I kept working, thinking,
I'd do it after a while.

It was quiet for a while
so I looked for her.
She was trying hard to peel the orange,
was almost there.

She saw me and then beamed
at the good job she had done
"For you, Mommy",
she said, holding out one.

I sat besides her
happy and stupid, I felt.
As she fed me the slices of orange,
making my heart melt.

    1. not just a part, the whole orange was meant for me :) i felt bad because i didn't help her when she needed me... but on the other hand, she tried herself, and now she doesn't need help with it anymore. :)
