Happy Birthday Son!

Our dearest son Canute,

Wish you a very happy 17th Birthday. May God Bless you with good health, all the happiness and success always, is our prayer.

Sweetheart, you are the greatest joy and a blessing in our lives and that is why,

We never want this to go unsaid,
So here in this poem, is for it to be said.
There are no words to express how much you mean to us,
A son like you, we thought could never be.
Because the day you were born, we just knew,
God sent us a blessing- and that was you.
For this we thank Him everyday,
You are the true definition of a son, in every way.
It is because of you that our life has meaning,
Becoming a mom and dad has shown us a new sense of being.
We want you to know that you were the purpose of our life,
Out of everything we did- it was you that we did right.
Always remember that we know how much you care,
We can tell by the relationship that we share.
For a son like you there could be no other,
And whether we are together or apart,
Please do not ever forget-
You will always have a piece of our heart.

Oh how the years go by,
Oh how time can certainly fly.
From once just a thought in far away dreams,
now into our arms and in our eyes gleam
the presence of you.
Your laughter and smiles
which go on for miles,
warms our hearts and soul.
You're growing up so fast,
as we wish each moment with you to last forever.
Our little boy will someday be a man
and right by your side we will forever stand.
We will pick up the pieces when you fall,
We will hold your hand and help you stand tall.
And when the day comes when you are on your own,
never feel that you are alone.
No matter how near or far apart
We are always right there in your heart.
Always remember whatever you go through
that no matter what, we will always love you.

We miss you always but today a bit more for it is your 17th birthday tomorrow and we are apart. Nonetheless, we are very happy for you as we know that you are away for a purpose. We send our blessings and love. Enjoy your life to the fullest.

God Bless you love.

We love you very very much.

With hugs and kisses
Mom and Dad
