Hey There, Little One!
Hey There, Little One!


Hey there little one....
You astound me with your vivacious aura
That breaks out of this
Pretentious adult territory
Every once in a while.
Lurking behind layers of filters
That keep you safe dear
You still manage to mark your
Attendance, as if your crush teacher
Called out your name from the register.
Remember the time when I ran
Behind the fast moving bus
Catching up to it
You howled a loud "Yes!!!"
Affirming your win over that bully
Who tries to surpass you in everyday's rat race.
Or the time, when you started to dance on the
street
As lungi dance played in full blast
from a TV showroom
Amidst a busy Chennai street,
Where I was pickpocketed 15 minutes ago.
You clearly know how to dance your troubles away!
Better than me.
Everytime I see balloons on the street
Everytime I jump up and down on trampoline
Everytime I run towards swings in parks
Everytime I get excited about little things
And seize those moments with open arms
I know it's only you.
Cause no other version of me
Has the guts and the drive to be as happy
As you.
Never grow up!
