13th Birthday Son Poem by Jerine James

Welcome to the first seven teenage years of your life
Now you are officially a Teen
No matter what your age?
I will always be there for you
You know you can count on me
All you need to do is speak out your views and thoughts
When you were tiny, I marveled at your smile and your tiny toes
Today, when you are 13, I marvel how strong and tall you have become
You were used to calling me mama
Now it has turned with love "mopy"
No matter how you address, know I will always love you and be by your side.
Life can be kind, life can be cruel
Use it wisely and let the chime in you be known
Have fun and make your teen days blissful
Commit and pray that you walk in Faith
