Viktor at 15

I wasn’t there when he was born
He hadn’t yet entered my mind
Today my son is 15 years old
And the words are hard to find

I don’t know how he looked
Or how he sounded as a baby
I imagine he had a pretty tough time
But he was strong, maybe

Now he has become a young adult
Big, with ideas all his own
Yet I can’t help but wonder
About the tiny seeds that were sown

What did he come from?  What did he face?
A history and mystery that’s his
Today we celebrate his birth
Who he was and who he is
