10 years ago on April 16th,  a baby was born
Matthew Lawrence Allen your name to become.
A precious gift as all babies are!
Your Mom and Dad , Lorraine and Kent must have thought at the time,
How fun it will be to raise you their first born son.
Welcome to the world our dear little one!

What a great young man you turned out to be.
So talented, so intelligent, and on the way to being very independent! 
A great playmate and friend to your little sister Emma.
You just seem to enjoy life overall!

Dear Matthew, Dear Matthew, how I wish you were here, 
So your  friends and family could gather together to wish you good cheer!
Dear Matthew, Dear Matthew, I wish your here, 
So I could remember your birthday for once this year!

You've not been forgotten and never will be!
