Twenty One Years

twenty one years ago
a great day I did know
you were born into this world
my little bundle of Joy
tiny little fingers and toes a tiny little boy
you grew up quite charming and quite handsome too
and there was choices you made that you didn't really want to do
but son always know that I always will Love you
money and matereal things are no importance to me
so please just be happy and be who you were meant to be
I will always help you if you get stuck
I'LL help you clean up if you fall in the muck
 a mother will always do for her kids the best that  she can do
no matter what you did I still love you.
if you need any help at all
just pick up that phone and give us a call.
I will always be there no matter what.

happy birthday Robert

It's beautiful Diane, really it is. 21 years pass like 21 minutes... I know how time vanishes, but it does not take memories with it... we cherish in later years, no matter what. You rock! Love, Amaan!

Aw, this is so beautiful. My son will be 22 next month and I know the bond of mother and son is so powerful. As a matter of fact my son is on his way home from college for the weekend as I write this. A powerful testament of your devotion and love. He is lucky to have you. Love, Shar
