TO MY SWEET SNAGGLE-TOOTHED BOY...


Somehow it happened.  
You grew up on me!  You now tower over me.
The snaggle-tooth has been replaced with straightened, adult teeth.
The chapped skin around your mouth is no more, but stubbled with whiskers.
Cute bowl haircut cropped into a manly style.

But the smile remains.  Your enthusiasm still shows!  
Your voice sings with a much lower tone.
Blessings to you, my son,
On your twenty-first birthday.
As you have blessed me.

Awwww.......makes me sad to see this picture and others as I went through photos of Z last night. I saw so many of all of the cousins being young. Loved the bowl haircut! None of my boys could ever wear it!
