25 Years in the Making

poem written for my son on his 25th birthday

25 Years in The Making...

Few short weeks ago, you took
your bride in hand...
Now look at you, you have
become a chivalrous young man.
Looking back at 25 years in the Making....

One, two, then three and four
whew !!!! ... Even now a young family man...
You showed us that although young,
you certainly could handle this plan...
Looking back at 25 years in the Making.....

Now it was time. To be out there on your own.
This is just where you felt you had to be.
Little did you know it wasn't as easy
as that piece of cake and cup of tea....
Looking back at 25 years in the Making....

12 years of school went so fast
with what felt like a blink of an eye.
A few days there I think "You" even
wondered how you were going to get by ....
Looking back at 25 years in the Making...

From birth to toddlerhood... boy was
that an exciting challenge even for me...
But a beautiful blessed child as you
have grown up for all of us to see.
Looking back at 25 years in the Making
