A poem for my son's 10th birthday


Galen
Fencer, student, adventurer, son
The best big brother imaginable,
Learning so fast, yet hardly begun,
A spirit that is indomitable.

A father could not be more proud,
Of all you have created,
Sometimes quiet, sometimes loud,
But always brilliant and elated.

Quick of body and of mind,
Helping, laughing, playing, grand,
Patient, thoughtful, clever, kind,
I’ve seen it all, I know firsthand.

The course is set for clear sailing,
Discoveries are yours for taking,
Happy Birthday Galen,
You are legend in the making.

-Your Father
