My Son
Don’t grow up my son
Because there is nothing in life to be won
The sparkle, wonder and innocence in your eyes
Make me wonder if that’s how the Almighty spies
You see the world as it is, all colourful and happy bright
Once you grow up, all the people including me will tint it with black and white
I don’t know if in life I will give you all
But I will make sure to pick you up whenever you fall
Sometimes when you are far away from my eyes
The pain is so overwhelming that’s the time when even the sky cries
But alas, I want to see you grown up all big and strong
So that I get to know as a father I did nothing wrong
