On a beautiful winter morning,
our new phase of life was dawning;
to make our happiness complete,
came a baby, so charmingly sweet;
Our own little bundle of joy,
the cutest, loveliest, baby boy;
just looking at your angelic face,
this whole world felt a better place;
Our lives, you filled with sunshine,
just being with you, is a feeling divine;
& you swiftly became our lifeline,
our anchor, our strength, our pillar benign;
into a kind & sensitive person, as you blossom,
caring, loving, sharing, with humour so awesome;
all our love and blessings, as you turn sixteen,
may you always remain, a wonderful human being;
