Happy Birthday

Day light is breaking entirely to fast. 
The laughing, the giggling, and having a blast.
The cake is dispersing as fast as it came.  
The ice cream is melting. 
The pinata's insane.
People of all ages are here playing games.
I haven't the slightest of even half their names.
Day light is breaking entirely to fast. 
This is your night.
A memory to last.
A man your becoming, Someday on your own, But always remember that this is your home.


Happy sixteenth son.
