It's a Ten for M

 

And it’s a ten for M

 


The little boy in my arms,

is all grown up and ten.

I still sit through his old pics,

and smile now and then

 

With every passing year,

you are taller and grown.

I silently cherish the moments,

when you left me blown.

 

An year just swept by,

with all of us a home.

That also made you and me,

bond beyond our comfort zone.

 

We saw your side , which to us,

was a space completely unknown.

Things we never thought you would,

do and then call them your own.

 

With all this came a lot of,

talks, chats and notes.

Sometimes they made us think,

about the times and our dotes.

 

Being a parent is not easy,

and we wonder every day.

If what we do is right,

in whatever comes our way.


Self doubts are part of this,

and so is this incessant pride.

When we see you shine,

with compassion & kind eyed.

 

Your dreams are simple,

but your passion is live.

I know one day you will,

find all what you strive.

 

For me you are just ten,

and I will forever hold your hand.

Sometimes you may not need me,

but my eyes will follow wherever you land.

 

All I wish you good health,

lots of kindness in your heart.

For the living beings around,

who shall always be your part.

 

A very Happy Birthday to you my M

May you have a fabulous Ten !
