When they asked me,
What have I learnt from him?
He teaches me about true happiness
It is not in cleanliness
It lies all around in mess
He teaches me not to pursue it
but simply practice it
I sing even if I don’t sound good
Happiness is a state of mind
is what I understood
I smile with him when things go wrong
I sing it aloud and sing it strong
You, cute little creature
You are my little teacher
He teaches me discipline
when he tells me,
“ Get up maa, sun is up.”
He is making my routine
He teaches me to be kind
When I am out of my mind
He tells me to be polite
even when I have a fight
He keeps teaching me grit
when every time he makes it
to the top of the cupboard
to get his toy that is weird
Either the toy drops for him
or his strength increases
to reach that thing
as if respecting his whim
When he goes that extra mile
All I can do is clap and smile.
I smile with him when things go wrong
I sing it aloud and sing it strong
You, cute little creature
You are my little teacher
