It's nine happy years, since you were born
And for me, they've been years of much joy,
From baby to toddler, so lovable too
And even more now, when you are a boy,
Your deep understanding, the way that you know
When I'm happy or sad, you can tell,
Our heart to heart talks, that I value so much
And the times we share secrets as well,
The welcome, that you always lovingly give,
Is something that touches me so,
The close bond between us, is precious indeed,
In fact, it's what gives life it's glow,
You listen intently when I give advice
And I know it stays deep in your mind,
For I trust and I pray, that in future years,
The true meaning of life, you will find.
