Our Son

When you were born you were a dream come true.
We used to call you our little treasure.
You've brought such happiness and joy
And memories to think on with great pleasure.

Your accomplishments have always been
A source to us of pride and great gratitude.
We admired the confidence you gave to others,
And the encouragement that you could exude.

You will always be loved and appreciated
For the special things that you have done.
We count it a tremendous blessing
That you were sent to us to be our son.

As you look back over the years that have passed,
With remembrances of many a yesterday,
May the memories of family and friends you have known
Be warm and happy as you enjoy today.

May the coming years bring you happiness
And your hopes come nearer to being fulfilled.
Dream high and reach for any star you wish
For eternity has dreams to yield.
