Happy Birthday, Mark

It seems like only yesterday

I was surrounded by your smile

And held my dear sweet baby boy
so closely in my arms ...

I studied every line and toe
upon your tiny feet ...



I thought you'd stay that way forever ...never thinking you'd grow up.

~~~

But then the day did come ..
away from home you moved.

So empty was the place you left
... so impossible to fill

I truly thought my heart would breakBut knew the time was here.

How proud I've always been of you
You are what I knew you'd be

A grownup charming VIP
But still a son to me.

I'd like to turn back the clock
and have my child, again.
But even so, some things don't change
no matter how the years may go.

You'll always be my little boy
The babe that filled my arms.

How happy now to wish to you
Another year of joy.

And in your memory box you'll find
your very first birthday candlealong with well worn books and toys.

~~~

Each one to me a treasure
of my one and only son.

Happy Birthday, Mark !

I Love You,
Mom
