Don'T Miss It Today

Have you seen little beautiful butterflies? All yellow, yellow and red, and all red ones Bet you can't say who among them the prettiest is. Eyes are bright buttons like, bows on hair big and small, A cute little snack bag on one petite shoulder Clinging to the parent’s or grandparent’s hands. One of them at times seems to be a little less cheery with One or two drops on rosy red cheeks Dear Mamma hugging and consoling Daddy cool pretending as not seen it. See them running round and round the pillar Singing the good old ‘Hickory Dickory Dock’ Sometimes ‘Asha Busha’ and one will fall down As they wait for the school van to come Adding more shine to the porch than the gleaming morning sun Is there any better blessing we can ask for than these little chatterboxes? Fill your hearts today with this daybreak scene For tomorrow the children will grow up, lose all their innocence Become young men and women and far away they will go, It’ll be even beyond Mars, today’s most distant place Therefore don’t miss it today!
