Eighth

Last year has passed and a new one began,
You have grown and become a young man. 
This year is the eighth in your lifespan,
make it memorable and follow God’s plan.

Reach your milestones one by one,
Value small things and everyone.
Notice signs that are sent from above,
these are reminders that you are beloved.

Some days you may wish to be Batman.
or want to be friends with Spiderman.
But you are already a hero of your own clan,
Loved, cared for, and admired, precious son.
