To my lovely son Clint who is 40 years old on the 23/8/11. Have a lovely day son and a very happy birthday. love always Mum xxx
A labour of love began that hot day
I looked on your face and you heard me say
My son you are filling my heart up with joy
My bonnie laddie, my big bouncing boy.
The only thing of me, your eyes of bright blue
The rest, even dimples, your daddy in you.
I cried and I cried as I looked at your face
The bonniest lad in the whole human race.
So proud of you son you looked so like daddy
No argument there then my bonnie laddie.
You grew up a big boy so hungry for love
I gave you my heart and buckets of hugs
Professor we called you precocious and clever
And know I will love you forever and ever
You married, had children, all grown up and gone
The Big C near had you, but you stayed strong.
So many things that you still have to do
A brain full of promise, please use it, won`t you.
Forty is just the right age to begin
To waste what God gave you would be such a sin.
Past is behind you the present is now
The future`s still yours and only you will know how
To live your life fully and take all you can
For you are the wisest and bravest young man
Remember I had you against all the odds
You my son Clint are a child of the gods
I gave you life, the most precious joy
I love you son my own special boy.
Today is your birthday, the biggest four O
Remember I love you wherever you go.
