Poem

Little boys

Everyone said Boys are difficult. 
They are alien creatures,
Difficult to manage 
And impossible to understand.
Well i agree. 
They are like a ball,
Can't stay still. 
They give you mini heart attacks
Each time they go out and get hurt.

They are naughty,
They are noisy,
They are wild!
But nobody told me
How i would feel ,
When this bundle of energy
Would come running
And smoother me with their force.
Or when this stubborn creature
Sneak up from behind,
kiss you and run away laughing.
Or when he would say innocently
'mumma when i grow up
I'll marry you!'
Little boys are like rain,
rain that soaks you up with
Their unconditional love.
Yes they are difficult!
But isn't it worth it
When they cuddle with you
And go to sleep ,
Making you feel like
most important person in their lives?
They say boys are yours
Until they get married.
Having them for a quarter of a century,
Isn't it better than not having that love at all!
To my bundle of joy and energy
Happy birthday Adi!
