52. VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Birthday “WISH” of a Mom & Dad

Though you would be

15

today

We wish you would still

hug us as tight and say good night.

And when in doubt,  ask for our advice.

And you would wrap your arms around our necks,

even in a swarming crowd,

without the slightest discomfort.

And you would still share 

your never ending views and opinions about

movies, books, music,

trains, planes,automobiles,

 guns,  games, computers

and anything that matters with us.

And you would still tell a joke,

pull a prank and make us mad,

throw us a playful punch,

tickle and tease  us  a little.

And most important of all

Not be ashamed to show emotions

no matter who is around

like you always used to.

And remember we’d dread the day,

you would outgrow them,

because

you’d never be too big in our eyes.

just because 

you’ll always be our little son.

BIRTHDAY WISH OF A SISTER.

The day we brought you home

When  you were newly born

You were so little

I thought you were brittle

You were the cutest thing

The laughter you’d bring

And you were a smart one

We just knew that you were the one

I remember playing all alone

With no sibling to play along

And then my only wish was someone

I wouldn’t have to share with anyone

Then my prayer was answered

A little brother was granted

And the day you came home

Our hearts just felt so warm

The Chupa-Chups you always bribed us into

The ‘penthinis’ you always just clung to

The times you at once disappeared

And from under the chairs you reappeared

Even in those few bad times

You would always bring about smiles

With your jokes and clowning

We felt our problems trifling

I am not saying you are an angel all the while

And not that we agreed all the time

There were times you’d drive me nuts

And make me feel that I am a mutt

Remember the fights we always had

And all the times we made each other so mad

I am sure Thaththa and Amma thought

We just always yelled, screamed and fought

But we’d always stand up for each other

You are always my little brother

And whenever you need me

Just know that here I will be

When I remember now you’ve grown up

Seems like yesterday you were trying to stand up

But even though we are miles apart

Remember you will always be in my heart

This is to the best Malliya anyone can ever ask for, 

WISH YOU A BLESSED B’ DAY MALLIYA!

Love you a lot

Yours Akki
