This is a story of a little boy with his sunny ways,
A little boy i know, six years young and full of life.
Has a smile on his lips and his feet on springs,
Sunshine is most certainly his other name
It was hot that day as it had been for so very long,
He was grumpy in the taxi, a tantrum brewing strong
His mood was black as the sun shone bright by his side.
He declared: "I hate the sun! why is it always on me?
It is too bright, it makes me hot and i cannot see!"
The mother 'who knows everything' said,
"You are our sunshine, I think the sun likes you,
though you can sit on my side if you wish to"
A minute later, a little hand waved out to the sun
'Ofcourse", he said, "that's why the sun always follows me,
Even when i cross the road, or just still
It likes me because i'm a friend, because i must be fun"
The 12 yrold giggled because he knew too much,
The mother nudged him into silence because she knew better
This was a moment for her to savour,
when faith and innocence, her two great friends
Joined hands to make a little heart believe
A little boy made friends with the sun that day
All because he had faith and innocence firm by his side
and let's not forget, a little help from mummy too!

beautiful poem.
Yes. Maa hai !
Sometimes i wonder about this magical person called Ma. At other times, i even stupid to 'wonder' !
For she by herself is a super duper wonder ! indeed
The Sun smiled
at the little son,
waving
his pudgy fingers
with an offer
one couldn't refuse.
Pure
innocent
friendship....
His other hand
on his mother's lap,
A smile on her face,
a glance at the elder,
a wink in her eyes....
And the Sun,
just a wee bit jealous,
wished
his own mother
was there......
LOL! funny and awww.. at the same time. the little sweetheart! :-D. May that innocence last long... and let it not be marred by anything..for a long time to come!
awww beautiful
very very heartwarming
god bless the sunshine
Lovely as always Suma.. light hearted and yet very touching.. I presume that was you of course.. you are a wonderful parent.. :)
The 12 year old played along??? Now that's a teen every mom would pray for!
so cute - keep on shining :)
Aww…. I find tales of such innocence so heart-warming ‘coz it so RARE these days! Kudos to you for helping retain innocence and childhood in your children. It is so awesome that the 12 yr old is mature enough to u’stand ur nudge n yet child enuf to giggle aloud. Touchwood !
You have a lot of patience and am all in admirations for you. I can imagine the 12 year old. Wait sometimes i think faith and innocence are two sides of the same coin. Wonderfully poemed.
awwwww! :) adopt me?! :)
hugs!

Monika:
thank you, god bless him indeed..i wish that innocence lasts a lil longer
Preethi::
coming from you, that means a lot ;)

Meira::
if you call a guffaw every now and then, and me glaring at him playing along, then yes... :D
pink dogwood::

Pavi!!!!
thank you pavi
it is quite a challenge to balance the innocence of a 6 yrold with the attitude of a 12 yrold...
Sumana:
thank you, my 6 yrold doesn't quite throw tantrums but this move is a change for them and the weather's really bothering them, because they are cooped up at home the whole day. besides it is ramadan here
Joy::
