Poem
TREASURES OF YOUR SOUL Just a reminder before I start… This comes with Love from your Mother’s heart It was Saturday September 1987 When my prayer specifications arrived from Heaven- You see, long before I was your age I asked God to Bless me one day with a son And that was how the thought of you had first begun So, Twenty -one years ago to this day You arrived…perfect and handsome in every way- As baby and toddler you were way ahead of your peers Showing wisdom and intellect beyond your years Added to that a head of hair to astound Made you without doubt, the best looking kid around At 6 months old you said your first word- Wait for it…”Ninja Turtle” is what we all heard- This was hardly surprising in retrospect though As your love of sword’s and sword -fighting started to show You started to question us on everything in sight No doubt in our minds, you were exceptionally bright When your sister arrived you were almost three Chat to Keelyn, and you will find she’ll agree… That having a sister was no issue at all- In fact you were her protector and mentor from the day she was born- The love that the two of you share, Is unique, very special, and extremely rare As young adults you still nurture this bond with each other- You make great siblings as sister and brother I could write pages, so many things to relay But here is the important stuff I need to say… You care about your Faith, Family and Friends... And still-- the heights of your Academic achievements know no end From the day you could speak the sentence we heard most of all- “When I grow up a Dr. will be my vocation and call” Four years into your Medical degree We realize how seriously you took that first plea You learnt to discern from an early age between right and wrong I am pleased to acknowledge in God’s Kingdom you firmly belong I love you so much…a love that has no measure To have you as a son - a gift from God I will always Treasure- So as you celebrate this milestone age of Twenty-one It goes without saying- you make us so proud to have you as a son (Footnote: My son is now 25—a qualified Doctor, and firm in His Faith)
