Get me moon, the
child pointed
As a birthday, gift
no less
Imagine my surprise,
as I had too
And received a
round, idly instead
Get me star, when
child had cried
His mother rushed,
to kitchen instead
Got him barfi, a
star-shaped pretty
With a shiny,
twinkling foil
Get me sun, when
child would insist
Give him laddu, is
what I suggest
Make him open, that
big round mouth
Stuff in laddu,
golden and round
In the smallest things, the
child finds mirth
Be it water, the
light or dirt
Come play with me,
parent of mine
For this was Life,
he seems to remind
