Happy Birthday, Thomas!



Happy 6th Birthday, Thomas


My first precious grandson,
Our little Thomas boy.
How our hearts burst with love
And our lives filled with joy.


How could anyone resist
Those curly locks of hair,
A soft, pure gold that framed
A face so sweet and fair.

Now those curls are cropped
To fit an older guy,
One who's now in school,
Oh, the years so swift go by.

His eyes are like sapphires,
Such a handsome shade of blue.
He's missing one baby tooth
And soon it will be two.

He's an ace on his bike
And knows how to take a curve,
He loves to go repelling,
Our Thomas has some nerve!

Transformers and Hot Wheels,
And action video games;
Muscle cars and hot rods,
He can tell you all their names.

Nails, snails, puppy dog tails,
Any rough and rowdy toy,
Yet, so loving and affectionate,
That's our Thomas boy.


Happy Birthday, Thomas, from Memaw. I love you.

Feel the pressure yet Sissy?

Peggy said...

Yes, I feel the pressure. I just hope Baylee's poem is worth the wait.

Thomas had me read his poem to him again.

Baylee's poem better not start off with roses are red, violets are blue.

Peggy said...

LOL! That's a good start, Dee!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Baylee's turning three,
Happy birthday to you.
