Bartholomew Joseph

A Poem for a Poet...Bartholomew Joseph

How he look so deep into my heart

and found the place, where he is always a part.

It wonderful to see that he knows his special place

and the love I feel, when I view his dear face.

Some people think five kids are to many

But the love I got back was, Oh so plenty.

You darling son was my number three

And according to science, should never be.

Then they decided that you should not come

I decided to have you, Oh my blessed son.

We proved them wrong for you were just fine

And better then that, you were ALL mine.

Such a beautiful baby, such a hansom boy.

You brought me such love and gave me such joy.

Now here you are with a son of your own

A wife and a job...well you are all grown.

Never a day that I don't pray for you

That God will bless thee in all that thou do.

I love you so tender and your such a great dad

You brought such pleasure, you make my heart glad

To think if I listened to science and all their advice that day

I missed out on your life, your love , you sweetness, and your say.

I love your dear family, your wife and your son

As your dear mother I feel I have won.

If I had a vision when I was a teen

Of what I would have or what I might dream

If l had looked down thought the bannister of time

Saw my whole life in the flick of a dime.

I would take it whole hearted, with out one doubt

Just knowing you in it, would me me shout

Shout with the joy of a mother's dear heart.

I glad darling Bartholomew that you are a part

Part of this family, part of my life,

you and you child, and you with your wife.

Kisses and hugs and poem for you now

before I turn into to really old cow.

Old and crazy and ranting and rave

But I will have you Joesph...as my own darling slave!!!

Lovingly Mother xxoxoxoxox

Happy 30th birthday Dan (the best littlest big bro a big little bro could wish for),
I'm glad it's you and not me, 27 works for me, in fact I'm just going to stop where I am, and next year I'll just be 27 with one year of experience. Yes, I'd choose youth over wisdom any day, only a fool would choose wisdom, that's why its pronounced wiz-dum because over the years the accumulated amount of times that you take a wiz makes you dumb. No that's not pee, its grey matter gone bad and turned yellow, think of that next you decide its time to 'squirt the dirt with the main vein' (as Dad says...Your a class act Pops).
In fact, the next time you go to the toilet you can do what I do, start imagining the 'Quickening' from the movie The Highlander and say to your self "There can be only one." I know that might not make complete sense (and even less sense to those who are not familiar with the movie The Highlander) but if you imagine the lighting striking you as you picture yourself holding a one of those double edged Highlander swords it can turn a regular, boring, run of the mill sort of day into thirty seconds of heart stopping adventure, which at your age should be plenty of excitement.
I love you Dan and hope this is a memerable birthday for you. Lord knows, at your age you won't remember much else!!
