Thomas Turns Five!

Wow! 60 months since you were born
Which makes you, Thomas, Capricorn!
The time has flown by at such speed
It won't be long till you can read

Your far-flung Auntie's special ode
Sent to you in Antipode!
I've watched you read the alphabet
And know that «big School» plans are set

In motion as the new year starts
Jan is a time of new departs
A change of scene - wee sister one
Challenges happen at a run!

The world expands when you are five
Tough learning curve - eyes open wide
Happy Birthday Thomas, in the sun
Auntie's proud how far you've come!
