Childhood

I see you grow, spread smile
Try hard and Walk Slow

Every now and then
You take a quantum leap to glow


Memories of your previous self
Slowly begins to fade to insignificance

I try to focus on your current feats
And small steps towards independence


Your toys change every so often
Unable to catch attention for long


I may not smile so easily
or open up myself to others
I am still trying hard to grow
In games that will fade to insignificance


My paths my learning will not guide you
In your coming day and age
May be you will have imprints from past
of best parts from the time we shared
