A Parents Love

Thirty two years ago today Our family was complete With the arrival of a baby boy Overdue, nine pounds, perfect and sweet The purest love we had ever known The day our whirlwind child arrived Little did we know what lay ahead Yet we all surprisingly survived! A kind, caring ,affectionate child With an angelic cherub face With a spirit so wild and free Life and its risks he did embrace Adventuress and fearless There was nothing he wouldn’t attempt to do A childhood of stitches, bumps and bruises Phone calls from schools and a policeman or two His teenage years were the most daunting Risks now being taken with alcohol and cars Licenses lost , vehicles crashed, Time spent at parties , pubs and bars Tonight at seven pm he turns thirty two He is loving ,kind hearted ,settled, happy Genuine, funny and our lovely son! No two parents could be prouder than we!
