4

it's late
the party is over
lots of toys
and playing way past bedtime

happy birthday
my son
i can't believe
you are 4 already

thank you for
the three kisses
at breakfast today
because you used to be three

and thank you for
the four kisses
a moment later
because now you are four

thank you for
teaching me
to take the joy
from each day

thank you for
your unconditional love
and for saying
"i like you, mommy"

today
we celebrated you
and the wonders you teach us

happy birthday
