Catch Him If You Can


A smile that sets your heart to spin 
Face shines with his innocent grin
Running about without a care 
All grown up now with curly hair 
Impish mischievousness he shows 
Spreading cheers wherever he goes 
The playground is his favoured place 
Daring his mom to give him chase 
Harmless laughter rips through the air
Follow the sound and catch him there
