Golden Child

On a day so particular
Something happened that was so spectacular
A child with golden skin
Was born without any sin
His mother looked in his eyes and said
“You will now lie and rest on this very bed”
She laid him down and sang
“Your skin is not the only thing you will get but a name that stands out called rang”
She took him home and he grew up fast
Its the memories that count and will always last
