Yesterday I cradled you, cuddly in my arms
Instant rapture, captivated, by angelic baby charms
Magic fragrant bundle of little baby coos
Soft baby skin, tiny baby fists, brilliant baby blues
Infant Joys, toddler joys, sweet small child on the run
Magnetism, humor- you know how to make life fun
Animated lively antics spark smiles wherever you go
Charismatic personality energetically aglow
Now you stand before me, a beautiful young man of 21
Pride overwhelms me, of the man you have become
Your future blank before you, choose wisely as you write
You deserve life’s best, may your aspirations shine bright
I hold you in my heart forever- my sweet baby, my amazing young man, my treasured son
I wish you a very happy 21st birthday; your magical life story has just begun.

Touching piece. The love of a mother to her child is beyond compare as evident to this piece you weaved from your heart for your child. No growing up could ever change the way you would always see him - now that he is 21, still you would see him as the baby and the kid you adore. Thanks for sharing with us all these. Happy Birthday to your son.
I wish you well.

Hello Islander –
This is a note to tell you I’m genuinely happy to see you on the Island. I founded the Island originally as a temporary destination for those of us set adrift when Poetry Thursday sunk. But the Island has flourished… because of writers, like you, who come to enjoy the tropical breeze, and just write -- for the sheer pleasure of it! So, the beaches remain open, and all are most welcome!
Poetry Thursday is now ReadWritePoem. Check them out if you haven’t. The crew at Totally Optional Prompts is doing a fine job. Both are excellent writing destinations.
I am slowed a bit with back pain. This has hampered my time at my computer -- so, I have not been able to read many of the posts. I will catch up when I’m steadier at the helm. I am dictating this to my wife, who will kindly post it for me. Kathy is a dear!
See you on the island. I have a prompt for this Friday I think should spark some fun and interesting writing.
May your muse be kind…
…Rob
W.I.
