Two

Happy birthday little man

On this night you are two

and I am far away, much farther than

I would ever be from you

You're my dearest little friend

and tonight I miss you more than most

as I rock myself, my arms my lonely cradle

Sometimes it makes me sad

yet always I'm glad for knowing you

Good night my little man

Thought mine you'll never truly be

I will watch you grow

and maybe someday you will know

how very, very much you mean to me

It's been a happy day

You've learned what presents are

But the greatest gift by far

is the presence that you bring

Sleep tight, my little man

and fill your days with wonder

of kites and sand castles and colored elephants

so many wondrous elements

Be safe and happy with your dreams

and smile that special smile that says

for all the world to see

"I see the world fro all it's meant to be

and know that all of it is meant for me"
