You Do Me Proud

My youngest son

Happy birthday sweetheart,

I hope you truly understand,

Just how absolutely proud of you,

As you’ve become a wonderful young man.

***

I’m proud of how you use your intelligence,

To be the best version of you,

I’m in awe of your maturity,

Shown by a very select few.

***

Your kindness knows no bound,

As you stand by those you care for,

Your support has become my rock,

And I can never thank you more.

***

I’ve loved you from that first moment,

And will until my dying day,

I am in awe over your courage,

You’re awesome, what more can I say?

***

I appreciate everything you do for me,

Every helping hand you extend,

Your love, your support,

You’re more than my son, you’re my best friend.

***

Have a perfect day today,

And know I’ll always be here for you,

If you ever, and I mean ever, need me,

Just ask and I’ll do.

***

My son, my young man,

I love you always,

You’re precious beyond belief,

And I wish you the best, today of all days.

***

Happy birthday Jye 💕💕💕

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
