A Decade of Love

The year two thousand and one

is a very special one -

born in Memphis was a great son
to some Rik, to the world Emon!

He lovingly called us jya & jaa
smearing our faces with endless abba.
Gave us reasons for so many things to do
from petshop, gameboy and visits to zoo.
will remember those eartly trips forever
what a joy & what a pleasure!

At four, he asked for his 1st soccer shoe
and 'like this, like that' a helmet too!
At seven, he attended his first rock show
still recollect his face, what a glow!
From soccer to baseball, and from piano to guitar
he does it all, can treat you to 'smoke on the water'

Often moody, but ever sporting
he's true fun, one comedy king --
more than just a class clown
cheers you up, when you are down.

A picky eater though he is
never says no to meatballs or ribs.

A decade of love has gone past
on this special day admit I must
that with every passing year
he is even more dear.

Today he turns 10, Boombing is his name
We wish him health, happiness and fame.

With loads of love and abba,
yours godparents - Jya 'n Jaa
