Happy Birthday to a young lad, who made me a second time Mum,
28 years ago today, I welcomed my 8lb 5oz son!
Curious & inquisitive, what a way to start each day,
He loved getting an early start & still that is his way,
I used to hear him babbling using little baby-guy words,
Sometimes I would whisper quietly, shhh! you’ll awaken all the birds,
An easy going toddler, who had a rambunctious older brother,
Who always took the subtle approach in one way or another,
He loved duplo,lego, & lincoln logs & reading Berenstain Bears,
The Elephant Show & Mr Dress Up kept him busy downstairs,
Those days that you think will last forever become vivid memory files,
Cause we all know life keeps moving, & we chalk up many miles,
A culinary aficionado who enjoys wine & good conversation,
& yes I am a little bit biased when it comes to admiration,
There were times when I was laid up that I felt I was falling short,
He was there to bolster me up with his unwavering support,
Happy Birthday to my boy you're totally officially getting old,
I am more than twice your age & thrilled you’re in my family fold,
You have dignity that gleams,
Have beliefs & have dreams,
Keep centered, keep hope,
It’s your life, keep scope,
I often feel awestruck by the boy with the eyes the deepest blue,
& I hope you enjoy your special day, you're sure one in a few.
