As you turn five

As you turn five

While I long to see as you turn five,

You and I, into our wistful memories, take a dive.

Since I last wrote a poem, ages have gone,

So much of love, except you, I haven’t known.

Wonder how different would be this seventeenth.

We been blessed in your company for time umpteenth.

As you grow, no longer you may be fond of your name,

But I call you Tini, hoping you would always remain the same.

You are the sun, and our moon too,

Made us stronger, while we were in blue.

Life was bright even at its darkest hour,

Having you aside, nothing made us feel, we had to cower.

As you step into your fifth year,

I must say, it’s time for you to cheer.

You would find friends and family getting much closer,

And the good few would aspire you to be their chooser.

While you blossom into the world of innocence,

Let me find words, that rhymes, and would make sense.

I bid you adieu, promising to write one more on your sixth.

Surprisingly, while you turn five, I am now ending with stanza fifth.
