Introduction of the innocence, to the world
A celestial being, born purely of love!
Mistakes make a noise never,
Crucial stage affects the rest.

Liberty truly the golden cage,
Fun and frolic, round the clock.
No law... No order.. Indeed a mess!
Flush of youth, handle with care.

Compromise, with one’s lifestyle.
Around the family and wife’s homily.
Outdated fun, more of seriousness!
The busy schedule makes them all.

Total maturity, dwells here my friend!
To couch black deeds, to teach better
With every twist and dying hopes!
Yet a desire, to live another day.
