As I think back on that day,
on that cold, wintry night,
when you came into the world,
your light shone so bright.
Today you are ten,
you’re a special young boy.
Watching you grow
has brought me such joy.
From your first little steps
to your journey through school,
I see what you’ve become,
you epitomize cool.
You’re well loved by all,
the young and the old.
You’re true to yourself,
you fit into no mould.
You go with the flow,
rarely getting uptight.
Your positive outlook
will hold you upright.
Sure you’re often quite wild,
sometimes just plain nuts.
You’re an active young boy
with bruises and cuts.
Boys will be boys,
I was warned from the start.
But boy of my own,
you have captured my heart.
Someday you will go.
Someday you will fly.
But this bond that we’ve formed,
it will never untie.
My sweet little boy,
You’ve enveloped my soul.
My sweet little son,
You have made me whole.
Well said!
So very beautiful!
Thank you, Deana. He’s a beautiful boy.
Steph, this is beautiful! Happy 10 years to your son!
Thank you, Meredith.
Happy birthday to your son!! Hope you got to celebrate with the storm and all. And I’m sure if he really does “epitomize cool,” he’ll be embarrassed by this!
Thank you, Kathy. Yes we were able to celebrate just fine. In fact, the snow made his birthday more special.
love this, lucky boy and lucky mom to have each other!
Thank you, Anna. I am lucky to have him, that’s for sure.
That was so wonderful. You should save that and give it to him on graduation day. Glad I found you from the Monday Mingle as I am your newest follower. Back to read more later.

That’s a great idea, Heather. I am SO going to do that. Though the thought of graduation day makes me sick to my stomach… I’m not gonna lie.
This is so sweet! I’m visiting via the Honest Mom link up and am glad to have found you.
Thank you, Charise! I’ll have to pop over to see you as well!
So Sweet! What a heartfelt valentine’s love poem. . .
Good point! I hadn’t thought of the fact that it’s right around Valentine’s Day!
How sweet!
Thank you!
I love it. My son (one and only) just turned 13. Thanks for sharing. (Linked from Honest Mom.)
Thanks, Susie.
Sniff sniff! This is so beautiful! I hope he had a great day and you were able to enjoy it too
Thanks Courtney. You’re the mother of a boy. I’m sure you get it.
