HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO MY ----Today, you become a adult
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MY SON
Today you become an Adult
Today' on April Fools.. 21 Years Ago God Gave me my Joke Baby! (J/K) My Son Niko Barrett Brown! Soooo to my last Child turning into an Adult Today??? I tried consolidating as much as possible:
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO
MY SON NIKO!
Happy 21st birthday, my son… yeah, it’s hard to believe it’s true,
But today, the whole world will now forever see the man in you.
Somewhere between yesterday and now, time quietly ran,
And my little boy, my biking buddy, grew up to be a man.
I remember you learning to ride that bike, with no training wheels at age 4,
And when I went to help you, your were already rolling, across the floor.
I'd watch you play football just talented with reckless abandon—pure and raw,
You played with no fear, watching you juke and make hits that would left me in awwe!
And when you swam in the pool, like a fish, learning on your own.
Jumping in with no floaties—I’d laugh watching your mom moan!
You may not do those things much being grown anymore
But it sure was great knowing those fearless traits were built into your core.
I remember Id tell you "True Stories" of my life and obstacles that landed in my way
In the hopes that they'd help you in growing into the man you are today
Cuz from my past experiences, both the bright and of course the dark,
I hoped you'd choose wisely, always trusting God first, then your heart.
Please never be afraid to come to me and ask for advice,
For those lessons I learned—they came to me at a price.
Trust me, I’ve walked those roads, and I know what’s at stake,
But I’ll be there for you, no matter what path you take.
Remember… never quit, no matter what you do; from the path, never stray,
’Cause if you want it bad enough—where there’s a will, you’ll find a way!
And I’m glad to see you’ve found a beautiful young lady, so please heed...
In relationships, trust—there are three things you need:
First, communication—make her your friend, and always water that seed.
Second, never let it grow stale—keep it fresh, keep the spark alive.
And third, respect, love, and trust each other, so your love will always thrive.
For a woman will only love you once—so hold it close, never stray,
Because once she loses it, you won’t even realize… until it’s too late, and it slips away.
ALL I ASK NOW.....
Please don’t get too busy and leave me out in the cold,
I did what I could to be a good dad—I’d just like to see how your life unfolds.
But forget all that—this is about YOU. I’m just proud to be your dad.
Know today? It’s YOUR day!
May God bless it and make it the best day you’ve ever had!
Welcome to adulthood.
Happy Birthday, Son!
