Stefan Squires - Our Son

A special little boy God gave to us one day
he placed you in our arms for us to lead your way

The love we had for you right from the very start
has grown so much throughout the years
it completely fills our heart

The memories are many of a young lad growing up
the laughter and the tears, the arrival of a pup
the T Ball games each Saturday in Summer days gone by
as you stood upon the batters plate and hit that ball sky high

The footy on those winter days, some miserable and cold
but you ran and kicked that footy but seldom kicked a goal
the trophies on the mantle piece stood testament to the time
when little legs ran like the wind, fond memories come to mind

The love we have for you our son has never wavered still
its only grown much stronger as the years roll by at will
we did'nt have a manual or a raising children's book
cause no such thing existed then, we had nowhere to look

So we raised you in our bosom in the way we thought was right
to teach you love and laughter and what was wrong from right
At time we saw you do things that we really could'nt understand
which brought us grief and sorrow which was'nt what we planned

But these short periods of concern and periods of despair
were overcome with our guidance, love and care

So today is very special for us both and you as well
as we say Happy Birthday son, have many more as well

Stefan Squires
