Pigeon Card

We wouldn’t let today go by without wishing you a happy birthday.
I just want you to know that you are a very important person in my life.

There was a birthday surprise in store for David Beckham’s son Romeo this week as he watched his dad’s team LA Galaxy in California. As the footie ace held the little boy up on his knee to allow him a better view of the action, a message flashed up on the stadium screen to mark the youngster’s special day: “Happy 5th birthday Romeo!”

Full story.

Matt turned 21 June 25. As his birthday approached, Janet wanted to
send a gift, but there was no news of where her son’s unit was based.
So she wrote her son a poem to praise his job well done and encourage
him for the times ahead.

A Poem for Matt

These days grow long it seems to me,
as I wait for your return.
I try to work and live my life
with minimal concern.

I know you trained so very hard with
confidence and pride,
but feeling so removed from you
brings sadness I can’t hide.

So many other families have
felt these feelings, too.
I’m not alone by any means
so this is what I’ll do.

The families with nothing
who invite you in for tea.
The Children who are use
to playing soccer in bare feet.

You learned to do without the basic needs
you’ve always known,
but shared your gifts and treats we
all were sending you from home.

Oh I have seen a change in you
that others may not see.
A purpose in your life that comes
from being a Marine.

The politics may continue
to be challenged years to come,
but I can say with all my heart,
I’m proud of you, my son!
