Happy Fourteenth

August 10, 2001

by Albert R. Pajimola

 

Fourteen years have gone by

Since your miraculous birth

The Lord sent down an Angel

To live here on Earth

 

From the first day I saw you

You captured my heart

I loved you so much

Right from the start

 

A dark, chubby baby

I never saw you cry

I wanted to carry you

Every time you came by

 

I held you in your baptism

A cherished moment I keep

When Father poured the water

You didn’t even weep

 

The next time I saw you

You were old enough to play

Though gone for a while

We got along right away

 

Whenever I go home

You’re the reason why I’m there

That’s why I want you to

Be with me everywhere

 

 But every time I see you

You’re always a year older

You grow up so fast

Now reaching my shoulder

 

And when we're together

Words cannot describe

The love that we share

That heavenly vibe

 

I’m so glad you come along

When it’s time for me to fly

You would even skip school

To be the last to say Goodbye

 

Whenever I'm away

My love transcends the sea

Thinking of you so fondly

Wishing you were with me

 

I’m so glad you send pictures

To show how beautifully you grow

I'm so interested in you

There's so much I want to know

 

Thank you for all the letters

They always fill my heart

From the emptiness I feel

During the times that we're apart

 

Our relationship is unique

No love can compare

So don't be afraid

I will always be there

 

From beginning to the end

Whether near or far

I love you so much

Just for who you are

 

. . .

 

You’re my pride and joy

You never fail to impress

I deeply admire you

For the qualities you possess

 

Your beauty, your calm

Your talkative charm

Your delicate body

Your eyes so warm

 

You puffy lips

Your slender chin

Your perfect nose

Your beauty within

 

Your thankful smile

Your loving face

Your tender kiss

Your sweet embrace

 

Your dazzling performances

When you dance and sing

Your desired presence

With all the joy you bring

 

Your outward elation

Your subtle flirtation

Your awarding dedication

To your priceless education

 

All that you are

Overwhelmingly true

Adorable.  Gifted.

Thoughtful.  You.

 

  . . .

 

Please take to heart

My humble rhyme

For this special occasion

I want to take the time

 

To share all I feel

In this poem so long

Though my love runs deeper

Than the length of this song

 

I treasure our relationship

Our love is so sweet

Though we're so open

You're sometimes discrete

 

You tell me some secrets

I wish you could share more

I just want to be closer

To the girl I adore

 

You can always trust me

I always understand

I am here for you

Ready to lend a hand

 

So write me when you can

I don't want to lose touch

Of my favorite God-daughter

Whom I love so much

 

That is why I see you

Every year when I could

To me you personify

All that is good

 

So you take care

Stay loving and kind

Hugs and Kisses

And please keep in mind

 

You’ll always be my favorite

No matter what you do

Remember, as you grow

So does my love for you

 

Happy Birthday!
