the boy

six on 9-9-09
oh that cheesy grin.
oh that delight!
oh, the energy,
the zeal, the tenancity and spirit of this one boy.

today you've cruised around the sun 6 times
today you will run and play
tease and create
today you will laugh and squeal.

the moment i looked into your eyes
i knew that i knew you
and that you knew me
and our reunion was sweet.

you run on your own time schedule
you think in your own way
you learn independently and quickly
you are a free man.

happy birthday my friend,
my joy,
my boy.

Sweet! I love it. What a lovely tribute to your son.

But if he were my son I'd have to add "Scream, wake up the baby, try to kick me, spend 30 minutes in time out, run outside leaving the front door open for the baby to wander out, hug me sweetly and sincerely, ride your bike in the street without permission, more time out, sneak treats out of the pantry..." I was really worn out today!
