Birthday Greetings

Time moves and makes change style fancy, Hurl then your way with poise that shapes; Indulge each wit with humour crisp, Ride easy breeze in well-being; Touch frames each trip with meal and treats, Yes gaming gains feel simply nice; Yarn and work fling a sanguine mix, Each in a sweep brings serious vein; Attract due peace when grace funds cheer, Rise up and shine in nick of time; Soar if you must and dazzle you, Note the sweet scent of perfumes here; Observe the sight of lofty peaks, Whole as you start: be buoyant then. Leon Enriquez 29 August 2015 Singapore

oops. I'm so far out. But anyway, love the last 2 lines, and such a great way to send to him for a birthday greeting.

Ok I'm reading your unrhymed sonnet - this style I think will work for me, and maybe when I'm more confident, I'll try the rhymes. How old is your son, btw. This feels like for now (if he's still too young to read sonnets), these are the emotions and the wishes you want to imbue for him as you watch him grow. I hope I interpreted this right
