Thirty
I can't fathom that you are turning thirty
I remember the night I went into labor with you,
waking just after midnight with contractions
You took your time getting here, but you
have made my life richer and fuller
each day that you have been alive, because
you are my son and deeply loved
I am proud of you and the man that you
have become and can't wait to see what
adventures you encounter as you live your
life and continue to reach for the stars!
I have never had to warn you that life is hard,
we have had loss and strife as a family and you
have experienced your own obstacles,
but keep moving forward my love, Happy Birthday!
