Might Have Been Just Yesterday
~*Mom*~

It might have been just yesterday
you were but a babe of three
Building your sandcastles on the shore
to the sounding of the sea

Many tides have ebbed
Many waves have churned
Into the man I proudly know
so quickly you turned

The sands of your foundation
withstood the mighty sea
Your castles are still standing
in the heart of the man before me


Happy Birthday, Steven Neal Tindal
August 30, 2001
I love you~

You've every right to be proud of the job you did on this poem, as well as the upbringing of a fine son!

Thanks for sharing, our Marge!

And happy birthday to your son.

You've penned a wonderful verse that describes my son as well- he's 25 today. Thanks.

You've captured a theme on how swiftly time moves as well as I've ever read.

Marge-

What a beautiful render from that great big
'mom' heart of yours.
What a blessing it must be to be a child of yours.  

Happy Birthday, Steven!!
May this be the best one yet!  

Hugs to you both,
