My Bonnie Lad


To my lovely son Stan known now as James who is 44 years old today, born on 3/4/1968. Have a wonderful day son love always Mum xxxxxxxxxx

The year was nineteen sixty-eight
And I just twenty-two
When I gave birth to a bonnie lad
And that my son, was you.
You were born so very frail
Twelve days we could not touch
I saw you through some panes of glass
And oh it hurt so much.
But you came home my bonnie lad
Your eyes a navy blue
Later they would turn to brown
And steal the heart from you.
Your skin was pale and creamy white
Hair of silk and dark as night
Never crawled, just up and ran
And in life did all you can
Time has passed but I still see
The pearls of your tears
When you fell and scraped your knee
Way back down the years.
Started school when bullies came
So you learned how to fight
Not many came on back for more
Your fists soon put them right.
Soon after that you fell in love
And offered her the moon
Then you realized her ilk
You`d fell in love too soon.
Later you would suffer pain
No lad should have to stand
But you held your head up high
And a golden hand
Gave you another little lad
Whom you have raised alone
I am proud of you my son
My bonnie lad, my own.
Now today you`re forty-four
Tell me it just can`t be
Seems like only yesterday
My bonnie lad was three.
But I`m proud of all you are
And I want you to know
You`ll always be my bonnie lad
And Mum still loves you so.
Have a lovely day today
May all your dreams come true
This I send with all my heart
My greatest wish for you
