Five Years Ago Today

It was five years ago today, my eyes saw you for the first,
I touched your tiny hands, whilst you were being nursed,

From delicate to sturdy, you've grown by leaps and bounds,
Your mind ever expanding, now sentences instead of sounds.

You'll always be our little boy, no matter how big you grow,
You will always have our love, though that you surely know.

You are five today, and tomorrow you'll likely be fifty,
Oh that you could stay a boy, now wouldn't that be nifty.

Continue to love your mom, and we will cherish you,
We promise to equip, for all that God would have you do.

It is amazing how fast those five years have gone. At age 5, you have already seen us move from an apartment to a house, to a new city and state in another apartment and yet another new house. We hope now you are enjoying a little more stability of environment and continue to grow up to be all that God calls you to be. You are a special boy, just as your little brother is, and we all love you. We hope all of your remaining years are filled with the health and happiness you have enjoyed for the first 5. God Bless you little one. Happy Birthday.
