A gift from Mother to Son whose journey through life has not been smooth but she is so proud of where he's at now.
We have been asked not to publish the details of this request.
Make To Be
Follow your dreams,
whatever they may be,
go wherever you want,
climb mountains, sail the sea.
Do what ever you want,
be whoever you are,
don't be afraid of the dark,
just choose your rising star.
Challenge your future,
attack your very own destiny,
because some things just go and happen,
and some things you make to be.
I said some heartfelt words in Allyson's poem,
and that's what these words are for,
a chance to have my say to you,
a chance to even up the score.
I love you very much,
and I'm very proud of you,
I'm proud of who you are,
I'm proud of what you do.
You've had your challenges in life,
but you rise to the occasion, each and every time,
just one of the reasons for my pride,
just one of the reasons for this rhyme.
Although you're not the greatest driver,
you've already totaled two cars (what the heck).
Really, I'm just glad that you weren't hurt,
even though I'm now a nervous wreck !
I've watched and loved you as you've grown,
from a baby to a fine young man,
sometimes we wandered off the track,
but believe me, there was always a plan !
I'm glad that you and Tim get on so well,
you hold each other in high regard,
a genuine love and affection from both sides,
a father and son role in which you've both starred.
We have such a close relationship,
although at times you can choose to unload,
but it's OK, I understand,
you're just dealing with another kink in the road.
You've hit a lot of obstacles in life,
every time you've something good it seems to just fall apart,
but I'm proud of the way that you handle it,
it's really inspiring to know you have such heart.
And I know that you love your job,
and that they're closing down in June,
just don't lose faith in yourself,
you'll find another (and real soon).
Because life is a journey,
you can never get too comfortable in just one place,
you need to find yourself within,
and then you can find your own inner space.
You were always close to Grandma Theresa,
her Nicky Jimmy could do no wrong,
and now you've an angel looking out for you,
if you listen carefully, she's still singing your song.
So, I just want you to be happy,
you mean so very much to me,
just remember that I love you,
and some things you make to be. |
