My Own Utopian Experiment #28: Celebrating birthdays
In the honor of celebrating my son’s birthday this month, I would like to share a poem. Birthdays are so special. It is the day that you were born into this world. It is the day that your parents cry out of joy, delight and mystery. It is the day we welcome additional member to the family. It is the day that our lives are never the same as before. It is the day that the seed of great adventures, love and joys are buried to germinate. It is the day that made me mom and experience this wonderful motherhood. I am so happy that he came to my life. It is one of the best things ever happened to me.
To My Son I Sometimes Wish
I sometimes wish you were still small
Not yet so big and strong and tall
For when I think of yesterday
I close my eyes and see you play
I often miss that little boy
Who pestered me to buy a toy
Who filled my days with pure delight
from early morn to late at night
We watch our children change and grow
As seasons come then quickly go
but our God has a perfect plan
To shape a boy into a man.
Today my son I’m proud of you
For all the thoughtful things you do
I’ll love you till my days are done
And I’m so grateful you’re my son
