5. Already?

Darling D,

I love your eyes
Bright and sunshiny

I love your smile
Beautiful and luminous

I love your soft embrace
The way you say, ‘I love you mama’

I love your active mind,
Always brimming with new ideas
And dreams to follow

I love your heart
Unmistakably in the right place

D, sweetie, please know
I look forward to seeing you grow
Not only are you my beloved son
But you are also my friend
One I am very proud of.

Godspeed, my little man. Here’s wishing you many more glorious ‘big boy’ birthdays.

Mama
