1. Happy Birthday, Son by Anitha Devi Pillai

From the moment I looked into your eyes,
I knew that I was never going to be the same again.
You held my gaze, not once looking away
as you reached out to grip my finger.

I knew then that I would never let you go.
I have fallen in and out of love many times,
but I could never fall out of love with you.

You, my dear, were part of me before
I knew you by your name.

2. My Son by Muriel V. Stephens

As you slept I took your hand
And thought of all the times
I held you as a baby
And read you nursery rhymes.

Expressions of a lifetime
Unfolded as I prayed.
Your little face, how it has changed
But how your smile has stayed.

I love you, son
Just as the time I cradled you so tight
That very day I told you then
I whisper now, tonight
My little boy
How time has flown
And now, almost a man
I’ll kiss your little fingers…
And hold you while I can.

3. Just When I Saw You Smile by Nsikak Andrew

The joy just like when I saw your first smile,
Apart from the innocent cry that ushered life;
That joy when you stared at me with a smile,
I felt so much vigor in you that made me blink.

Just like when you made your first cry,
Right there you looked at me with a smile;
That brightened my day with so much thought,
And humble me with the tears of joy inside my heart.

A true blessing you have become in our life,
And daily your smile blesses our days;
I would never trade anything in this world,
Rather than see you smile every moment.

Days now turn to months and months into many years,
But everyday around you is an awesome experience;
I am learning to adapt to this new life that comes with you,
The life that makes us proud to be called your parents.

Today that is your day, we celebrate you,
I pray you will always grow in strength;
May the Lord keep and bless you always,
And may you ever shine far beyond your peers.

He’s head a shoulders above the rest,
He’s kind and very thoughtful,
He certainly is the best,
So on your very special day,
May good fortune come your way,
For you deserve the very best,
On your birthday and always.

5. Happy Birthday, Dear Son by BN

For me, you are brighter than the sun,
And lovelier than the moon.

Today you got a year older,
Only making me wonder,
How you could grow so fast,
With cute memories flying past.

Most times, you seem to be matured,
But sometimes, you are a terrible pain to be endured.

I can see you are abundantly intelligent,
That’s why my heart aches when you are negligent.
Your talent should not go wasted,

For that, you need to be dedicated and motivated.
You are a God’s gift, all packed into one.

10. The Only Thing by Anonymous

The only thing that a mother wishes for
On her son’s birthday
Is that he remains happy in life
And always has his way.

On his son’s birthday
Is that he always gets what he wants
And never faces dismay.
In short, as parents, we both wish
That you have an awesome life ahead
Rather than just fit in with the crowd
We wish you stand out instead.
Happy birthday!

I’d like to thank the Lord above,

your birth would never be.

for what His gift has meant.
Just watching you grow up
has made my heart content.

for instilling in you a kind heart.
You have grown into a loving man.
You’re witty, thoughtful, and smart.

And on your blessed birthday, son,
a prayer I send to you.
May the Lord instill in your heart
Charity, faith, and truth.

4. A Poem by Valerie Capasso

I never want this to go unsaid,
So here in this poem is for it to be said.
There are no words to express how much you mean to me,
A son like you, I thought could never be.
Because the day you were born, I just knew,
God sent me a blessing- and that was you.
For this I thank Him every day.
You are the true definition of a son, in every way.
It is because of you that my life has meaning.
Becoming a mom has shown me a new sense of being.
I want you to know that you were the purpose of my life,
Out of everything I did- it was you that I did right.
Always remember that I know how much you care,
I can tell by the relationship that we share.
For a son like you, there could be no other,
And whether we are together or apart,
Please do not ever forget-
You will always have a piece of my heart.

For us, you will always be number one.
