A Birth Nine Years Ago

Nine years ago at the twelve o' clock hour
a very special breath was taken.
It was the first breath of a beautiful baby boy
who I gave the name Dagen Robert.
Dagen was the most beautiful baby
that I had ever seen.
He was so perfect with all ten fingers and toes.
Even the sound of his little cry was so magical
that it brought tears to the eyes of this
proud new mommy.

Today, October the twenty-eighth
two thousand and five,
my beautiful baby boy turns nine years old.
Dagen, you were an amazing baby,
and now you are an amazing young man.
I am proud of you, just for being you!

Happy birthday to my son Dagen Robert!
