One Year Old

This menace is my son 
  
Brings me a lot of fun 
  
Always wants to run 
  
Hates to eat even a little bun 
  
I love oiling him 
  
But he loves bathing 
  
And is annoyed 
  
If the taps aren't running 
  
He bites the candies 
  
Swallows rice 
  
Dislikes chapatti 
  
But oats are nice 
  
Only if filled with spice 
  
His actions during rhymes 
  
Makes my eyes shine 
  
If he gives a good take 
  
Then the effort is all mines 
  
This little one has many fans 
  
They keep on visiting 
  
Yet! the uploading of photos and videos are never ending. 
  
Toys bore him 
  
He is amazed by the sounds 
  
Loitering is favorite pastime 
  
Music makes him go round and round 
  
I enjoy listening "shhooooo" 
  
While tying his shoe lace up 
  
And also "mum” 
  
When his tumbler is bottoms up 
  
Splashing water everywhere 
  
Killing winter worries me 
  
Leaking diapers don't bother him 
  
Being naughty is 'Me'! 
  
To sleep, he hides my phone inside him 
  
As though I am a thief 
  
I need to stare at him 
  
The lullabies can take a leave 
  
Some injections kept him healthy 
  
Some drops, able 
  
My son! You will always be in my prayers and 
  
And a prayer too 
  
'Dhairya', I love you 
  
May you arise high like a star 
  
That shines on its own 
  
And also help others shine.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
