Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To you,
Happy Birthday To Ekiel,
Happy Birthday To You.

You’re one today. *clap clap clap*
It feels like it was only yesterday when I had you.
The two-day contraction, the pushing and the labor pain.
The fear when I didn’t hear you cry and the doctors rushed you out.
The joy to know you were okay despite the complications.

You were beautiful.
Huge almond-like eyes.
A cone-shaped head.
Ten little fingers.
Ten little toes.
And still is.

If I wasn’t sure before,
I knew at that moment that everything will be okay.
Even if it’s just the two of us.

I love you with all my being.
I wish I could give you the world.
I wish I could protect you from the things you have to go through.
I pray that you will have the wisdom and the courage to understand.
I pray that your life is filled with many blessings and happiness always.

Happy birthday little boy.
You have made me a very proud mommy.
Just try to behave a little okay?
