Poem 16. Counting One to Thirty

A baby who's only three (years old) can count from one to thirty!

My baby, oh my baby!

You know how cute you are

You are the morning sunshine

At night, my brightest star.

 

My baby,  oh my baby!

A gift from heaven’s gate

You showered us with laughter

You made our life so great.

 

My baby, oh my baby!

Is this the time to show?

Your moment to uncover

The flair as now you grow.

 

Your sweet voice counting numbers

From one up to thirty

Isn’t that an achievement

For baby who’s just three?

I was expecting to jump into the footprints of a mother watching her child grow from one to thirty, and relating herself to an infant that has only learned such a thing. Meh, not exactly my preference in poetry. While rather intelligent diction you've at your disposal, this just isn't a concept I find myself dabbling in. You have a rather cute child; he oughta grow into a mathematician one day.

Thanks, Tai. :)

This poem is a real joy to read, to celebrate a three year old's life, in writing such as this, is a pleasure for anyone who reads this wonderful piece, ( especially this child), beautiful work.

Thanks, Sheema. :)

A very cute--obviously, capable--child who ought to be able to say, "Thirty-one."
Sweet and loving ode, well-rhymed.
Impressive work, Dhaye!

Thanks, Sir Frank. :)

You're really good at rhyming, no joke. This is very cute. Is this your son? If so then he is equally as cute:) And having an intelligent mother would only make him smarter all the more.

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Maryanne. You're the only one who recognized that. Lol.
Yeah, he's my son. I've already posted our pic together in one of my quotes in Hear My Mind Volume One.
Am I Intelligent? Well, I doubted it...I see it in you... in your extensive vocabulary. Lol.

[Androglossia]

Very modest of you Miss dhaye. Intelligence could not be defined by mere words alone but by the depth of understanding. Don't mistake my vocabulary for intelligence:)

No kidding, he's very cute. I think he got your eyes, no?

[Dhaye]

You have that depth of understanding. You're just a humble one. I said it because everytime I read your works, I have to read them not only twice but thrice...looking at a dictionary. Lol.
Really? Does he got my eyes? Well, they say...if you always go together with someone, you would look the same.

[Androglossia]

Haha, di naman.. I was fond of using archaic words in old english until people started complaining so I decided to keep my writing as simple:)

I'm for real about your son's eyes but your last statement tells me otherwise.

Believe me, this smiley tells a lot more than you know :D

Great...:)

[Dhaye]

Thanks, Sami. Babies are really amazing in their own little ways.

True, true, true...:)

This is a fun write! Good rhyme and rhythm, and a sweet "song" for a smart baby!

[Dhaye]

Thanks again, Rita.
