On this day, you stand at twenty-one, A journey of love that's just begun. From cradle days to present bright, Your heart, a guiding, endless light. Through paths of joy and times of test, Your faith in God outshone the rest. With caring ways, you touch the earth, Spreading warmth and endless mirth. I held you close, and there was love, A gift, a blessing from above. Shaving foam baths, the laughter wild, Adventure bound, my cherished child. Memories, like stars, now gleam and shine, Happy birthday, Benjamin, forever mine.
