To You Dear Little Boy Poem by Indira Renganathan

And now, steady you walk
Romp to explore your efforts
Following are your parents

You jump and jump and jump
Over the stairs up
Following are your parents

You then hop and hop and hop
Chasing the steeple over hurdles
Following are your parents

Then you run and run faster and faster
Hunch-backed with your erudition and profession
Running still faster after your possession and passion..

Hey, quite a while later

You pant at a point of realisation
Turn back; note a sullen blot
Waiting are your parents old enough

Will you run? stun?
Paces on life one's from a mama and a papa
Loyal ever be o' dear little
