Dear Son

Since it's your birthday!
There is a lot that we wish words could convey!
Since the day we saw you-oh, that beautiful day,
Feelings - hardly any set of words could portray!

Days turned gradually into months, 
And months turned into years!
And before we really knew,
The clock swiftly shifted gears!

From the cute little doll - that bundle of joy!
Remember the moments you played with the cutest of toys?

Oh, we hardly know who you will become!
Will you be this naughty, or will you go mum?
Will you follow someone's footsteps or chart a path of your own?
No matter what you do, may you leave unturned no stone!

My boy, may you grow slow and steady…
The world is waiting patiently, whenever you are ready!
