Ajju

Dedicated To a Cute Little Child Who Touched My Heart:

A cute little three-year-old I got to meet, 
On a winter evening, two years back;
With his mom, to my house he breezed in, 
A tiny face with almond eyes black.

The moment he got in, he did explore my house, 
Rollicking and romping - mischievous plays begin;
His straight-faced funny questions to me, 
And his sparkling smile my heart did win.

An evening well spent, joyous and memorable
As along with my son, he did play tireless;
This kid has a special place in my heart, 
Though after he left, my house was a mess!

Such a cute poem... It reminds me of our neighbor's little son who used to visit us every weekend, even after we vacated to a new place. He used to come to our place and make us embrace the bliss by his cute little acts and of of course a lot of mischievous acts but few years before his dad got transferred. Beautifully written and yes I am a tamilian and you???
