9th Birthday Tribute

Happy birthday baby boy
You should have turned nine today  
While our lives continue to grow and change    
your birth feels like only yesterday  
 
Would the tooth fairy have visited  
When you lost a tooth  
I'm guessing probably not  
As mum and dad believe in telling the truth  
 
Would you have been a gamer?  
Asking for the latest console  
By now you'd understand  
room cleaning equals money, giving you control  
 
Physical and emotional milestones  
aplenty this year  
Spending time away from mum and dad  
Much cooler hanging with your peers  
 
Maturing into a young man  
another growth spurt on the cards  
Old enough to play Auskick,  
Dad would have trained you hard
 
Consciously now evolving  
Your dad is gaining inner peace  
Finding a breakthrough  
The first step thanks to Sud Guru  
 
Mum evolving consciousness  
takes a different form  
When riding Max and mucking out his pen  
she experiences the ultimate Zen  
 
Your beautiful little sister  
persuades dad to dance and make tic-tocks,  
She paid to train a horse  
Using little to no force  
 
You would have been proud  
to take mum and dad to school  
The most relaxed parents around  
Neither bound by societies rules  
 
Your parents and I  
Will never forget your beautiful face  
A precious gift  
born to teach us grace  
 
As another year passes  
Your memory remains strong  
Happy birthday angel boy  
To our family, you'll always belong.
