To my eldest son John Paul on his 42nd birthday. Love you always Mum xxx
At forty two you`ve found you
Know where you are in all you do
Got a girl who`s by your side
Loves you well and does not hide
How much she cares
Love is there for all who dares
I`ve watched you grow from child to man
Confused, not sure, how you began
Now at last you`re big and strong
Have found the place where you belong
Happy to stand up and say
I can do things my own way
The future beckons with a smile
No fear now to walk that mile
Knowing that you`re not alone
Found yourself and have come home
To everything that you can be
Know thyself and you`ll be free
Do not lose that self-belief
Time my son is such a thief
Hold on tight to all you are
Then reach up and touch your star
Carry it along life's` road
It is not a heavy load
Have a happy day today
Don`t forget find time to play
Proud you`ll be, with head held high
To the past you`ve said goodbye
Looking forward you can see
Everything you`re going to be
