That impish grin and those eyes aglow,
with its spark of life so many outgrow.
Busy fingers, a busier mind,
complex, yet simple and unconfined.
The years ahead pregnant with unknowns,
incomprehensible a numberless zone.
For you who only can count to ten.
Amusement, enjoyment, over and again.
You sing with delight, one song in two
Mixed up lyric mean nothing to you
The joy you feel when you raise your song
Doesn't matter, Please sing along.
Those brand new foods, brand new sights
Tomorrow again might still delight
Your eyes that saw them day before
Today a delight to re-explore.
Innocent youth, I pray you keep
As in your dreams you rest and sleep
Visions of dancing stars and light
Remembered tomorrow in older twilight.
