2. “My Son, My Dream, Our Joy” By Nsikak Andrew

You are a gift anyone would dream of,
So innocence with pride of royalty;
A smile you have that comforts me,
You are, in all, a creation I admire.
All days I prayed for this special gift of you,
You my dear son who reawakened my hope;
A look into your eyes feels my thoughts,
With this pride, only fatherhood could bear.
Every day to me is your birthday,
For each of the moment I held you;
I feel the joy that knew no bound,
That special love known only to my heart.
You came when we needed a miracle,
And completely changed that which is our life;
We love you like we have never loved before,
You are a special gift we will always cherish.
A treasure you are, a pride to us you would ever be,
Our joyful joy, the gift far beyond our imagination;
It was with joy you came and our heart you gladden,
To God we would ever be grateful for the gift of you.
Just like yesterday when we heard your first cry,
That which brought so much joy into our home;
You are special to us, son of our youthful strength,
We love you in a way words would never explain.

May you always feel the warmth of happiness;
And may you live to fulfill your life’s journey,
Happy birthday my son, the joy of our strength.

When you came into our lives you made it all complete,
you rounded out our family – being a boy was just a treat.
You grew and flourished very quickly – can’t believe you’re a young man,
now it seems many moons ago… when it all began.
From the happy little baby and toddler that used to laugh and drool,
no sooner were you on the footy field, as you were at school.
It wasn’t until later on, that you thought motorbikes were cool,
Tearing ’round with your cousins – thinking dust and tracks – RULE!!!.
Now it’s a lovely girl that shares your heart, with all of us too,
may you be very happy in all the things you anticipate to do.
You’re a caring, sensitive and well rounded guy,
who has lovely manners and is just a tad shy.
We wish you every happiness and a life amazing too.
Happy 18th Birthday …..(name).

Ideal For: This poem is perfect if your son is turning 18 – a big milestone in his life.
