My Angel at 21

I wrote 'My Angel' around 2003 for my eldest son. 18 years later, I have updated in honour of his 21st birthday.

My Angel at 21

Bright blue eyes

and a toothy smile

Yes I love him

No denial

He's beautiful, he's so complete

So many strengths

You can't compete

He is my son

My first born one 

He's 21

Where has time gone?

He is my angel, my bundle of joy

And he'll always be my little boy

*The picture is a collage of 'My Angel' at various ages. Clockwise from main picture: with me January 2021, just before he returned to university; posing for a nursery photo c. 2004; with 'Stephen Underwood Award for Contribution to Youth Theatre' 2017; climbing on shelves in our first family home c. 2000; at my mum's (not sure what year but that looks like a school t-shirt so possibly 2006); on holiday, Isle of Wight, either 2003 or 2004.
