On Jace's Birthday :: A Poem

'Twas the day of Jace’s birthday, the day he turned three;

There was reason to rejoice, to celebrate, to party.

We ate doughnuts for breakfast with chocolate and a candle;
because birthdays are for eating all the sugar you can handle.

There were presents, a movie theater, and dollar store finds;

And quarter machines, and kid’s meals, and superheroes of all kinds.

We decorated the party room with streamer and balloon;

And celebrated Jace all morning, evening and afternoon.

We ate Spiderman cupcakes with frosting bright red;

And played ‘heavy, heavy hangs over thy poor head’.

We gifted him with Mater and superhero’s galore;

Plus, the Spiderman bike the birthday boy had prayed for.

The evening was spent putting miles on his new wheels;

Plus excitement, laughter, and plenty of squeals.

It was a good day – a fun day – a day enjoyed by all;

But most importantly, a day where the birthday boy had a ball.

Jace, you’re our superhero, we’re so excited you’ve turned three.

We love you so much! - from Dad, Mom and Brynlee
