8th birthday poem

It has been a long time since I've blogged.  Today I wanted to capture Rian's 8th birthday poem.  We had a wonderful celebration at home, with a them he chose, and games he planned with us.

Our little darling is turning eight
A fine reason for us to celebrate.
So come on over, and grab a seat
I'll read you a poem (that's no mean feat).

It's been a year of change
New school and friends may have felt strange
But fear ye not, coz Rian had it all
Figured out before the end of fall.

Skiing was a blast, and the blacks were no match
Rian would come barreling down without so much as a scratch
And when daddy stumbled, and had to sit down
The king of the mountains - t'was Rian who took the crown.

Soccer ruled Rian's spring time
Learning Ronaldo chop all the way to bedtime
Tennis was our individual sport
And he's mastered the serve cross-court

Drone Rangers, Flight Science, Horse Riding camp
Fill up Rian's summer and make him a champ
With grandparents doting over him
Fulfilling Rian's every little whim

Activities galore, sleep-overs and more
It's been a busy year for sure.
And as another anniversary marks its closure.
It's time to start all over :)
