I first met your mom
when you were just two
the age you will be
as I write this for you
not to be opened
till you turn 18
and you leave behind
all the childish things
there are things to be learned
while you're on your way
something new and different
every single day
file them away
for the times you're in need
you will find some wisdom
in those little seeds
don't forget to nourish
your strong family ties
they will always be with you
right there by your side
I hope you are happy
be confident and strong
cherish these memories
all your life long
