The boy became a man

 From a kid with a bat and slippers on

He walked his way across the town

As a lion, as an elephant with a crown

He walked with ease and none to frown. 

Books, friends, fun and stress

Sun and breeze, months and years- 

they paused nowhere to freeze a frame

of childhood and life so young.


Onset the summers of a man so soon

A little too grown for the cocoon

Of merry walks and a walk for a game!

A little less comfortable,  a little to blame.

He now walks the streets with no ease

Neither an elephant with a crown.

He is now a man who guards his thoughts.

He is now a man who guards her crown.

He shuns the bat and picks a bag

He shuns his friends for his family. 

He shuns the world to work for them

He smiles for the world. His family.


A boy once, a man now.
