To My 4yr Old

February 17th

A big day is instore for you.
The clouds start to resemble shape.
A birthday poem written to you.

You start reading.
Start to write.
Embarking a journey to the first grade.
Learning to pronounce

Daddy is sorry he can't be there.
He is sad that you are growing so fast.
In your reflction you stare.
Why your daddy isn't there.

I haven't seen you in so long.
The time appart just has flown.
There isn't a day that goes by.
That I don't think about you.

Happy 4th birthday my son
Your journey to becomeing a man has begun
You'll have sad times and happy ones.
I know you will grow up right.

Forgive me my son for not being there.
Just somethings your daddy can't control.
I hope you enjoy your gifts.
On this your 4th birthday wishes come true.
