My Boy

He stood before me, Inspecting his broken toy. What flickers through his mind, I do not know. But he smiles occasionally , The gap from the recently dropped front teeth gaping at me. His eyes amaze me. Every look familiar to me now, The wide grin giving away his mischief, Is my favourite. His stubbornness is short lived. He settles for the little joys of ice cream, His batman costume pushed backstage, (Well, at least for now). He puts on a brave face- Except for the ‘spideys’. His tiny hand waved reluctantly, He leaves for school. All that amazes him looks new to me. With him, I become the kid I once was. Discovering more of me, As he discovers the world ,little by little.
