Happy Birthday
22 years old today
Nathan my joy
In all my years
No one so dear
Has ever come
Into my world
My precious
Shining Star
I love you so
The gift you are
To me my son
Is beyond all
That a man could
Envision in his
Wildest Dreams
To trust you into
God’s own hands
Is my only sane
Decision after all
That our family
has been through
All of these years
Now 22 small grains
In the sands of time
And what can I do
But shake my head
In wonder at all
That you are.
Looking back I
See the Hand of God
How close we came
To Losing You
But you were spared
Only to lose
Your Brother
In a Cruel
Twist of Life
A week later
Now a man
and a Marine
The few, the brave
and the proud; you
Our only son alive
On God’s earth
I am so proud of you
And the man
You are now
My only hope is
To see you grow
In life all the rest
Of the days of my life.
My God bless you
And keep you all
The days of your life
And may they be long.
I love you
My Son!!!!Happy 22nd
