Child of the Sun
born in high summer:
the light of your smile
is the light of my day.
Child of the Sun
whose smiles without number
drive all my demons
and darkness away.
You’re four years old
and I’ll always remember
the day you were born
as a magical day.
With a heart of gold
just as wild as it’s tender
Happy Birthday I wish, while
I smile at your play.

This post is dedicated to my youngest son
He is celebrating his 4th birthday today. My little ray of sunshine. This is a joyful day for me, and I hope for him as well! This morning, we have been baking this cake:

Unfortunately, we were too late to link to The Great Bloggers Bake Off – but what a fun event that was! Thanks to Caramel for hosting, and for interviewing Benji (my oldest son).
And now some music, for both of my boys:
Happy Birthday Mr 4!!!
Thank you 🤩
Happy birthday to him!
Thank you 🤗

Happy Birthday to your son, Ingrid and that cake looks lovely. 🙂
Thank you Kitty 😊
You are welcome, Ingrid. 🙂
Oh wow! Ingrid, I love your heartfelt verse, I love that yummy looking cake and please give him a hug from my side! Happy birthday to him. What a lovely age four is. ❤️
I will do Punam, thank you 🤗 🥳
My utmost pleasure.
Happy Birthday to your sweet boy! I’m sure he will love that cake! My birthday cake must always be chocolate, and so was my mom’s. She’d be 99 today.
I didn’t know about that Bloggers Bake-Off, but it sounds like it was fun.
Have a wonderful celebration today! ❤️
What a coincidence! Thank you Merril. Thinking of you on what must be a day of mixed emotions ❤️
