Happy Birthday Baby Boy

All the words

Congeal

As saline pools

In the corners

Of my eyes

I hold

The floodgates

With willpower

But my thoughts

Outweigh

My will

The weight

Is caused

By my deep

And everlasting

Love

For you

My eleven year old

Little man

Since you began

As an idea

I had to wrap

My head around

I found every moment

Sweeter

Than the last

And the love flows

So beautifully

In both directions

You are the ground

I require

Beneath my feet

The breath

That draws the fear

From my heart

The laughter

That releases my pain

The smile

That clears away rain

Happy Birthday
