Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday son!
I'm so proud to be your Mom.
Life was never boring
when you were growing up.
You never met a stranger,
you called them all friends,
and if they needed help,
you just moved them in.

There were times I felt like
the lady in a glass shoe,
who had so many kids
she didn't know what to do.
You were all filled with mischief,
but you never did much harm.
The house was filled with laughter.
You all liked to play the clown.

Your friends were not a burden
and they didn't stay for long,
but when I needed help
I knew just who to call.
I was very proud of you,
you were a true friend.
You always worked hard
and tried to do your best,
And now that you're grown up
you're a mighty good man.
