Diplomatic Kid

Woke up hearing my little one laughing out loud
Saw a smiley little face, “me” a father very proud 
Day began positively, like sun coming of the cloud(s) 
Later, asked the reason, again he laughed out loud

Cheerfully, he started unfolding a story unheard
He- a very talented story teller I always admired  
“I saw you turning small, no mustache, no beard
You were in nappies, he narrated a story, bit weird

"Years passed by, I grew big, but- the reverse you did
Continued his narration the little one, his looks candid
Shall tell stories,  spent time with you, said the kid
Live your heart out daddy, I ensure none shall forbid

Reality strikes, forced me out of my fantasy world
Trying to escape,  to the office work- myself I hold
Suddenly flashed, the reasons made up, excuses I told
Awesome kid, his smart diplomatic teachings I behold

Sree….
