Haiku Ode-cious

Touched by your poem
Daft things from the past retold
How not to feel old

So now in return
Here’s something for memories
Keep this blog precious

Cute baby you were
Glad you didn’t looked like me
Fat old and ugly

Hair black like cin cau
Skin fairer than Korean stars
Angel in disguise

So considerate
Just only one feed at night
Slept tight till morning

Born to be cheerful
Smile long before you can talk
Front tooth only one

How not to love you
Dad is the first word you said
Tears also came down

A joy to handle
Since babies are great like you
Good to have a few

Asked your mom to try
She told me to go to die
Sorry, no siblings

My, how fast you grew
Got past your stumbles and falls
Next you went to school

So eager to learn
Also went to ballet school
Piano on Sunday

Transport no problem
Taxi hopped from place to place
Daddy the driver

Virtues I taught you
Be frugal and not to waste
Polite and humble

Treat food preciously
Many hungry in the world
Have heart for the poor

Save, not for yourself
Leave for next generation
Act not selfishly

Don’t be dishearten
Just deal with the big issues
Soon, things will be right

Must say I am glad
That you grew up well rounded
So far no regrets

Hope you have strong heart
For the future will be tough
I have trust in you

Now I call time-out
There are plenty more to write
Now, Euro Cup time
