off (spring) of joy

This is translated purely for Arjun and because of Arjun.
No deprecation or depreciation allowed.
So only appreciation aloud.




All the people say you are growing.
Hope and aspirations of grandparents  and elders are overflowing.
Not even an inch  the set target ,  lowering .
lent an ear and eye to enjoy the progression of a sapling  flowering
Boy hardening into a nice bloke like an oak.

Bewildered  spectators  ,  you were an imp roving all over the home you know
Wondrous spectacle , you are improving as white as snow .
leaping ,bounding and  roving imp is  improving by leaps and bounds.

Your tottering steps warned us
Let you not
         or
We should not
misstep. 

Our  response , the responsibility learned and earned.

Curtailed and ceded , extravagance  and aggression for you  on the debit side
Nailed the much needed credit, fragrance of  affection , for us balanced life a joyous ride

Restless in the car seat howling and prowling
Stressed to turn the head  growling.
vision on the road  disciplined driving forward
Envision better outlined future onward .

Elders  seeing you , nostalgic with our sweet memories.
Folders filling  with classic  treats of memoirs.
Being called grandpa grandma is not  embarrassing .
aging  gracefully , with fondness embracing.

Rear and care , bestowed with  parenthood 
near and dear are dearer than assets , understood
grew along , learning  and teaching , with you .
Knew new yearnings  in reaching out for you.

We are the present and future
We have to mount many mountains
We have to surmount uphill tasks.
Stepping up closely with the past.

Search for greener  pastures
Reach for higher  statures
Depart , that  is a must almost.
Be a part of family and trust always .
