My oldest son turned sixteen yesterday It seems like minutes since he was born I wonder why we let time get in the way And end up feeling sad and forlorn. Looking back into the past few years I've had a chance to smile and shed some tears But all in all he's brought joy to my heart And now through fate, we live apart. I'm proud to call him my oldest son And although he is not the only one He's the first I see grow to manhood And I'm pleased to see him doing things he should. So Happy Birthday dear sweet young man Your mama sends her love across the miles I just want to let let you know I'm your biggest fan And the thought of you, brings many smiles. |

This is so sweet, Lorelei! So sad, though, that you aren't together.  As a mom, myself, I can feel for your pain.Wish him a Happy Birthday from me too!  Denise |

This one really touched me, Lorelei, without going into intimate detail, let me just say that I can relate to your poem! Hope he feels the happiness and love in this poem across the miles! Corinne |

This is a wonderful tribute, I am sure he will love it. Even through distance love is felt. They grow much too fast. Mine are not 16 yet but the time will come much too fast. |

I too love this young man. He's got his head screwed on right, and I respect the things he says and does. As for my lil Lorelei - now does everybody see what a lucky man I am? She's got two more boys coming along who are also terrific kids. We miss them all. As for me growing up in another four or five years... never! Lorelei keeps me young and glad to be alive! She is the living equivalent of the Fountain of Youth, and I love that girl so. Incidently, that is NOT "the" chair. |

LongJohn....I'm sorry man....I just made a typo...what Lorelei said was; "I'll be glad when LongJohn GROWS a manhood..." |

Nice poem Lorelei, I can remember when I was that age.......JUST!! Yes, I admit your general rule. That every poet is a fool: But I myself may serve to show it. That every fool is not a poet. |

Nice work, Lorelei. Nothing more touching than a mother's poem to her son. He has a great mother.....unlike test tube Toe. |
