Siddharths 13th Birthday Poem from Mom

Happy Birthday Sid, my big boy with a charming smile! 

You're now thirteen,
You've arrived at a special age,
Choices and plans, what will you be,
A doctor or lawyer an engineer or sage?

It's quite okay if you don't know,
More important it is, to live each day,
Take each challenge one step at a time,
Learn and enjoy, your work and play.

Live each moment, do all things well,
What's inside you, are things that last.
At home, at school, wherever you are,
Thanks be to God, you're growing fast,

Life goes quickly, it's a great gift,
God grant you wisdom to reach your quest,
For us dear son, you are most precious,
We Hope to see you do your very best.

May true friends come, they are a blessing,
Choose them wisely, this is our advice
Everyone fails at one time or other,
But learn from the failures and grow wise.

You have the smile that kills many hearts,
And surely the looks to make impression that lasts,
I know you love to eat, but eat only what you should...
Now be a good teenager and make us proud!
