It's time now to celebrate Adam, 
		another birthday now for you.
		You're a little bit older and wiser, no doubt,
		with a few more things you can do.

		Still a year til "legal" and four til you're "real."
		You probably can't wait til you're there!
		Not that Time hurries onward, or waits or remembers;
		that's all in the calendar's care. 

		For soon enough years will begin to pass quickly
		and sooner perhaps than you'll choose.
		But that's okay, too, since it matters you've been here
		there's nothing to win or to lose

		when you've lived your life fully and careful, your steps
		are always a matter of choice.
		And this day, this Friday this Sixth now is yours
		to smile, to be special: Rejoice!

		It's warm spring weather on this early June day
		as school lets out . Let Summer begin!
		A blessing, part lonely, on a pivotal day
		with a yearning toward tomorrow within.

		I imagine your voice as you laugh and tell stories
		Yes, still I can sense and can hear it.
		I trust you're entrusted with Hearts who respect you,
		who hold you in Love and in Spirit.

		Some day, dear Adam, our mysteries will share
		their own intertwining together between
		but that time's for Futures, for here now Today 
		is your Portal of Seventeen.

		May the Bountiful and Prosperous this day reserve for you
		all Blessings, Love and Happiness, with Friendship good and true. 

						I love you, Dear.    -Jerral
