40 years ago today your arrival was announced.
The newspaper team captured your look as into my world you bounced.

40 years where has the time gone..
I just turned around and you became one

Your sense of humour just matched mine
We both laughed together what a good sign!

Along came Victoria making our family complete…
Pretty with dimples and two dancing feet!

Birthdays and Christmas’s.. fabulous parties,
Dressing up games where prizes were smarties

My beautiful, clever boy flew through all his schooling…
Your thirst for knowledge just needed fueling .

At air cadets you flew so high
What fun you had up in the sky!

Pub quizzes, holidays and disco dancing
Then off to uni for further advancing.

A master’s degree no surprise there for me
I just stood watching as proud as can be

And we swiftly move then through many things…
Through illness, Motorola and wedding rings

The beautiful couple giving their vows…
A house move, and two babies..no time to browse..

And now innovatech media and better webspace….
Add grubby buggy..life moves on apace.

Happy birthday Keiron Patrick, however much you grow…
You’ll always be my firstborn and I love you so!
