I prayed for you, a quiet prayer
that God would find your way to me
From the day I learned of your existence,
you brought something different to my days
Not a difficult child, not hard to please
yet you have been challenging in your own ways
When others said you would not or could not
you pursued with determination that never ceased
You surpassed every milestrone, in your own time
Your capabilities already known to those who loved you most
Your eyes so innocent and pure
your cheeks so soft and kissable
Resembling more a young boy now, you've grown up before my eyes
With a special presence about you that guarantees a smile
It's on this day, your special day
that I reflect on all you've brought to my life
Although miles separate us on this day and you cannot feel my touch
You haven't left my heart not for a brief moment
I look forward to days ahead together and many more celebrations
You will always be my baby boy and I, your blessed mother
In honor and celebration of my baby Ethan's 6th birthday on 12 March 2012.
