2100 HRS 15th August 2010

I can hardly believe

its been a year

already.

Where have those

12 months

disappeared to?

Like the fine sand

at Samui,

I thought I had time

in my hand

suddenly its gone.

I was there,

I know.

But somehow,

each moment

was so fleeting,

before I could

fully absorb

the experience

fully laugh

at the hilarious

fully amaze

by your antics

fully assimilate

your entire existence

its gone

only to be replaced

with yet

something new,

leaving me

gasping

and breatheless

wishing I could

playback the scene

in slow mo.

Son,

I sometimes wish

you can slow down

a little,

so Dad can

catch up

with his Fatherhood.

Happy Birthday my boy
