Birthday Card For My Son

Today my son Chase turns 20!  Wow where does the time go!!!  I wanted to make something fun, masculine yet still something that tell's him he is still a little boy to me!  The inside of the card reads:

Happy 20th Birthday Chase

It seems like only yesterday

You'd say I love you Mommy

And wrap your arms around my neck

And seal it with a kiss

Those days are gone forever

Stored in my memories

I can only say... Those days I truly miss

My little boy has grown up

Into a wonderful young man

You truly are a blessing

Of who I am so very proud

Honesty, kindness and gentleness

To name just a few

With all these things

I think of you!

Happy Birthday Son ... I love you so!  Always your Mommy  xoxo
