Shravan's 1st Year
  a year gone by, a lot to tell   in grand fashion, we will bid farewell (to the year)       when he was born, he was tiny as a tadpole   tiny fists, tiny toes, eyes and hair, black as coal       full of questions, a distant sigh    for when i am gone, he wonders why       twinkling eyes and a longing gaze    he welcomes me home with a warm embrace       sit and stand, climb and crawl   try he will to master them all       sounds he makes, though words they are not   full of expressions, he communicates a lot       stealthy as a cat, he longs to throw   everything in sight, high and low       grown he has, a foot or more   a long mane of hair, which we adore       a year gone by, a lot to tell   through my eyes fall memories, all pell mell
