A Wish

A wish for my boy.  In honor of his first birthday.

Be Happy

I want to tell you something so you will thrive and be happy

This world is full of chances so take a dive and be happy

My wish for you is that you follow your heart and dreams

Doctor, athlete, chef? Dream it, even if it’s one or five - be happy

Life is big and if you get the chance to sit or run,

Run! Run fast!  And shout out loud you’re alive! and be happy

Show the world who you are; smart, joyful, full of love

Keep your head held high and morals inside and be happy

You are strong, you are beautiful, you’re always laughing

Please keep faith, hope, and love by your side and be happy

I want you to know the world is yours so grab ahold!

I hope you take a leap and believe that you can fly - be happy!

We love you now, we’ll love you then

Be honorable, be respectful, and be full of pride

And be happy.
