Adored you as I heard you burst into silly
little songs of duckies and monkeys
Captivated as I listened to your long
colorful stories
Fascinated as I spied on you humming random
little tunes
Enchanted as you gave us your spirited
little dances
Awed as you deftly mastered numbers &words, clocks &puzzles
Warmed when you showered your mama with
your innocent little nuzzles
Delighted when you gave her a bloom from
the garden
Tickled as I saw you hang from your
father's knee
And saw your chubby hand peek when you
played hide n seek
Excited when I taught you to play Rock
Paper Scissors
Contented as you let me read to you about
Cleo and Daphne at nap times
Overjoyed as I watched your splashy fun at
bath times
Elated as we licked ice cream bars together
and fought for chocolate crisps
Filled with pride when I heard you thank
the delivery man, say hello & bye to the local store man
Teared with joy as I saw you stop on
sidewalks to listen to a musician’s tune
And you wanted to give him the biggest coin
mama had
Missed your baby tongue say baalah for
flower
Thrilled though at your toddler tongue
little fellow
As I heard you say cocodile and lellow
Blessed by the joy you give us year after
year
From infant to baby & toddler to
preschooler
Here you are, now, years four
Bless you my happy little treasure, keep
shining more!
