The Valentine Boy

Christian, it is good to know
I expected a forever Valentine
fifty years ago for your father’s
due date was fourteenth of February.

Obviously he did not want to be delivered
to see the world that day and waited
six more days to come out and be part
of us, our family tree or lineage.

Twenty two years later, there were you,
the Valentine boy, ready to see the world
and be part of us during the micro-generation.
Born in the Rooster year and a Zennial.

The Valentine boy named Christian, a name
of English origin that means Follower of Christ.
The Valentine boy born twenty eight years ago,
on a Sunday, Valentine’s Day, an Aquarian.

The Valentine boy, who is all grown up,
is a loving, caring son, brother and grandson.
Good mannered, responsible, committed,
compassionate, hard-working nurse.

Keep up the good work, Valentine boy.
I am proud of you, my grandson.
Embrace today, Valentine's day as a special gift
and celebrate you and your birthday.
