"Another year of joy
You're growing up, they see
But to me, my special boy,
You'll always be my baby!"

This poem is perfect for any mom with a son who is seeking more independence. Whether it's through education, career, travel, or something else entirely, our sons will find a way to carve their own paths and make their marks on the world. We always knew they had so much potential from the very beginning, and it's incredible to see them put that all to use through talent and hard work. It never hurts to remind them that you believed in them from the get-go before anyone else did — and this poem is a perfect way to do so.

"My baby boy, my precious son,
I hope your day is filled with fun.
As the years go by, you change in many ways
But one thing stays true through all these days.
You'll always be the little boy who has my heart
Just like you did right from the very start."

We'll always remember those precious days when our sons were as tiny as little loaves of bread in our arms. But as they grow up, these memories become more and more special to us. This best son poem is the perfect way to remind your boy just how wonderful he is to you and how you still believe in his power to make a difference.

"On this happy day,
I met my son for the first time.
In each and every way
I’m so glad to call him mine"

You'll never forget the moment you laid eyes on your sweet baby boy for the first time. Although he probably won’t remember the earliest days with you, what he will remember is how you were with him and there to support him every step of the way in all his endeavors. Sometimes all it takes to remind him is hearing a few "Happy Birthday Son" poems from Mom — and this one is a great selection to lead with.

"My son, I am amazed
By everything you do.
In each and every way,
You make me proud, it's true.
And on your special day,
Know you're special tomorrow, too.
You'll change the world someday
And just by being you!"

If your son is no longer shorter than you, it's totally understandable if you get a bit nostalgic about him being little (even if he's still young). Remembering all the ways our sons have changed and continue to change over the years is nothing short of inspiring. After all, every single one of us had to start from somewhere, and the roots we have from our mothers have shaped us in more ways throughout our entire lives than we could have ever imagined. Where your son is today is all thanks to the love and effort you put in.

"Another year around the sun,
I'm blessed to have you in my life.
Your journey has only begun
And I'm here to hold you tight.
Never forget how much you are loved
Wherever you may go;
You'll always be my precious son
In sunshine, rain, the wind, and snow!"

Sometimes as the years go by, it can seem like a bit of a blur to us — especially as we get older. But poems from a mother to her son will remind him that at least one thing is clear: He can always count on his beloved mom to be there for him no matter what. Even when the times get tough — especially when the times get tough — he'll have the most loyal person to fall back on. That's the best birthday gift we could ever imagine!
