Today Nicholas is turning double digits–as he likes to say! To commemorate this day I have written a poem.
Decade
In a decade you have managed to kindle the fires of my heart.
My sweet tart
The inception of your life was a sacred moment and I am most thankful
For I am blessed by your kindness, your intelligence, your zest for life
Sweet, funny, charismatic, compassionate
Gifted
A talented artist, reader of tomes, awesome scholar, climber of trees, and everything in between
From child to tween
Your interests are varied—tae kwon do kicks to student counsel
So opinionated about current events
If it depended on you Obama would be president
You are for
All things STAR Wars
The Lego King
And Builder of many things
Especially dreams
The world is your canvas
No stone is left unturned
By your unbridled curiosity
Not even stitches could stop you from pursuing adventure
Our nightly devotionals are a highlight
After reading, a kiss, a tuck –in, and a flip of the nightlight
You truly make my heart melt
A “son” that shines brighter than all others
I feel lucky that I was chosen to be your mother
You represent the best of me and dad
a beautiful smiling soul
First my darling baby boy
Now my ten-year-old joy
How proud you must be
Of all you have accomplished
In just one decade.
