From as far back as my memory goes,
The day on Mother Earth I set my toes,
Numerous things for me have been done,
I have been special and treated like one,
Forever protected from various dangers,
Saved from the prying eyes of strangers,
Been allowed to enjoy my presents on earth,
But while ensuring that I realize their worth,
From the pram1, tricycle, bike and car,
I have been safe in the journey so far,
With moments of tension and those of worry,
No major events which’d make me sorry,
Seasons have changed and years passed,
The whole transition has been pretty fast,
I can smile when I look back at yesterday,
Each night of gloom showed way to a happy day.

‘Tis just because of You, You and your kind self,
Your my raison’d’etre, actually, my life itself!
Keep me with You forever, and never go away,
That I’m alone with my shadow, there is no day.
Answer my and others’ prayers, like You’ve so far done,
When I know You’re kind to all, I’m not the only one!
