Happy Birthday, Son Poem by Namukolo Covic

Happy birthday, son
On this day,47 years ago
I brought forth into this world
A bouncing baby boy.

I was young and scared
Not knowing how life would turn out.
But I was a proud young mother.
I held my head high and reorganised my life
I prodded forward.
I put my best foot forward
And routed for what my son could become
Happy birthday, son

Still routing for you, son
But, on my knees in prayer
On my knees always in prayer

Happy birthday, son!
Happy birthday!
May the future you deserve find its way to you.

Happy birthday, son!
