Several Shades of Me!
With a white hair band on a lovely pink dress,
Fairy-like ballerinas with a bow and satin lace,
Strawberry flavoured lollipop in hand,
Comfortably sitting on Grandpa's lap.
Neatly dressed in school uniform
And golden-rimmed spectacles
With a heavy satchel on the shoulders
And Milton water bottle
Running towards the gate
Because of the fear of getting late.
Spectacles replaced by lenses,
Silver earrings with cotton saree,
Now an attendance register
Instead of the lollipop in hand.
Grandpa’s adorable child,
A super nerdy school girl,
Or an ambitious Professor,
Each shade of mine,
Was just too fine.
