From cradle to saddle

       FROM CRADLE TO SADDLE

[A CHILDREN’S DAY SPECIAL]

Waited, indeed waited so long in isolated darkness,                                        Circling round and round for an early possible exit,                                          Alas! amongst a loud shrill of cry and in all fairness,                                        Finally I did make an entry in this wonderful transit. 

Excited, yet still blind, the wait continued to prevail,                                      Astonishingly, the light was at the end of the tunnel,                                        Fondling, caring, my roller coaster ride in  smooth sail,                                  My juggernaut, tossed everyone to dance to no avail.

Honeymoon continued, naughty, I was pampered,                                            Jeered at me at times, yet oft yearned my presence,                                        My best period has begun, antics all remembered,                                            Every year on this day, rejoicing with glee and sense.
