Every single step I fell,

You never picked me,

I learned to be a Rolly Polly Doll,

Bounced back like a ball.

I notice every detail of you,

A scratch never goes unnoticed,

Burns don't matter to you,

You act and remain unaffected.

Your love spoils me

Something seems missing,

Mommy just scold me

You look lovely while scolding.

A shadow approaching me

It was so scaring,

Please come and save me,

Just when I was crying

You came and embraced me,

You bring warmth to me.

You're warmer and brighter

Than the sun,

You're my sparker,

It was fun

Playing flying helicopter,

With my head on your lap,

Only then could I take a nap.

A Rolly Polly Doll,

It will never fall

Which shall bounce like a ball,

Yet,it stands so tall.

Even when you transform into a child,

Yet,I shall not leave you,

Fever even if it's mild,

I'm gonna take care of you.
