My precious bundle is going to be 5 soon

Wasn't it yesterday
I held you
like a little baby
close to my chest?

Wasn't it yesterday
you were drinking
milk fom the
sippy cup?

Wasn't it yesterday
you were howling
and screaming
Because you saw a spider?

Wasn't it yesterday
I held your hands
and taught you
how to swim?

Wasn't it yesterday
you told me
"I am your
seeti pie"(sweety pie)?

Wasn't it yesterday
you came to me crying
because Chachan called
you a babypottamus?

As I sit here
I wish selfishly
that I could turn back
the childhood clock

but alas, I have
no such power
and I watch
with an aching heart

A beautiful child
drinking milk from a cup,
playing with spiders,
swimming in the BIG pool

bopping Chachan on his nose
Every time he calls you names
and I wish from the bottom
of my heart

If only time moves
slowly, so I can soak up
the joys of being with
my seeti pie.

Happy Birthday my little baby.
