Those big warm hands which I have held since I was born are now not that bigger than mine

Those huge bulky arms which swung me here and there are now not that enormous anymore

Those broad massive shoulders which gave me numerous piggyback rides are now not that strong anymore

Those heavy leather shoes I used to love putting my small dirty feet in are now not that larger than mine

Those black silky hair I used to like playing with are now not that black anymore

Those delicate soft cheeks of yours' I used to love pulling are now not that slender anymore

And that tall height I used to look up to is now not that taller than mine

But you are still the same

I am still the same

But it is still not the same anymore...
