"To Our Grandson"
We remember all those yesterdays,
When you were a small boy.
All the joy you gave,
And yes, heartaches too.

The love in your smile and eyes,
Each time you visited us.
Also the awneryness you did,
That only boys can get into.

As you grew a little older,
We could see ahead into the future.
For we knew in our hearts,
That you were someone special.

Now you have grown from the small boy we knew,
Into a young man with an inkling of what tomorrow brings.

You have love in your heart,
That gives hope for a better day.
And we are sure that you will succeed,
In the good things you want to do.

Know though that you are lucky,
To have parents and grandparents who love you.
For we feel and know,
That the sun and moon shine upon you.

Even though we cannot be with you
On this special day of yours,
We wish for you,
all the joys and love you deserve.

Happy Birthday to our Gandson,
Michael.
