Sunshine

Convinced a colleague to have a baby,

Called another "Riaan", a couple dozen times maybe,

Every chocolate cookie in the cafeteria, reminded me of you,

As the hour hand on the clock, turned six, seven and eight, I began to slowly and steadily feel blue,

Who knew a naughty, sweat-stained little boy, 

Incessantly demanding for toys,

Would capture a large portion of my heart,

And blackmail me to load up e-carts, 

Now the house is overflowing with toys,

And so much noise,

I wouldn't have it any other way,

You keep everyone's dark clouds at bay,

You are our sunshine,

And our moonshine,

You are loved beyond words,

Anything I write, would sound plain absurd.
