Nine

Ben is nine
He is growing like a vine
Youngest child of mine

He is smart and smart and ....oh ya.....smart

Ben is tall
No longer small
No longer nervous bout playin' wall ball

He is smart and smart and .....oh ya....smart

Ben is wise
Strong for his size
Likes to catch flies

He is smart and smart and ..... oh ya....smart

Thank you Ben
For being Ben
For being
Ben

Love, Mom on your ninth birthday (in place of a quilt)
