It's a day of celebration
In more ways than you'll
Know, the emotions
That touch me deeply are,
Often not put on for show



The way you've grown
Amazes me, from toddler
To a man, the years
Spun by me quickly as,
I'd thought there was a plan



But life is full of marvel,
Yes, surprises found here
And there, we teach each
Other many things,
With so much still to share



And so, my son, I wish
You blessings true,
On this special day, you'll
Shine, I'm so proud of
You my heart could burst



HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
Sweet child of mine
