Noah's First Birthday
by Charlotte Savage
I sit beside the window,
Listening to the river rush by.
It reminds me of all the years that have passed,
Gone in the blink of an eye.
I think of this day, a glorious one,
Filled with laughter, fun, and good cheer.
Today, Noah was your birthday,
The beginning of your second year
It brought back many wonderful memories,
Of a cake I lovingly prepared;
Celebrating your Mother’s birthday,
When she was just one year!
It is one o’clock in the morning,
Elation keeps me from falling asleep;
I close my eyes and envision each child
Partaking of your birthday treats.
How fortunate it is to have video,
Your party enjoyed all the while;
As once again we will look at it,
Play it back with many a smile
It shows your sweet disposition,
Your delight of being in a crowd;
How much you enjoyed the frosting,
Your pleasure in laughing out loud.
Noah, my birthday wish for you,
Is happiness, success in all you do;
Excitement, challenge, creativity too,
And lots of love to carry you through.
Happy Birthday, little Noah
Love,
