Birthday Poem

It's Atharva's very first birthday,
One candle on His cake;
We the Proud parents stare in wonder
At each new move he makes.
We join in celebration,
As this special day arrives,
For He has brought pleasure
Into all our lives.
We look forward now to seeing
How he progress and grow,
From the cute and tiny infant
He was one year ago.
"Achu" is his pet name
We are sure he will bring us fame.
He loves to dance
If he gets a chance.
His smile makes the darkest day bright
We sit and watch him sleep at night.
Our attempts to make him sleep are to no avail,
As we wake to his whimpers, cries, and a wail.
We rock him awhile and sing him a song,
But we know that he won't be asleep for long.
It's 3 AM as his dad looks at his watch.
But instead of sleep it's Cricket match.
He crawled and fell His way upright,
We smiled with joy, a gorgeous sight!
He looks up at his Daddy
Whose strong, sculpted arms hold him steady.
So we wish happy birthday to our cute son Atharva,
From the bottom of our heart.
And may his good times multiply,
Till they're flying off the chart!
