76 years ago today

My mother was born

Of course I couldn’t have known her then

But I know her now

I know that had things been different

I might not be the person I now am today

So I thank you mother

On this special day

For bringing me here

To this place we both live

You have your pride

And

You stay true in all that you do

You are loved by many

Known by many

And remain

The envy of many

Your strength and determination

Has gotten you far

The love you hold onto

Has pulled you through trying times

You have much to show

For your years on this earth

I can certainly say

That I’m proud to be amongst your accomplishments

So as you celebrate today

Know that there are many of us

Out here thinking

Of all that we owe to having you in our lives

You’re not just a memory

You’re a piece of our minds as well as our hearts

We’ll never go on thinking

Without remembering

All that you’ve done

So keep on living this life of yours

So we can keep on building our memories

There’s nothing better than looking back

And seeing all that you’ve had

All that you were

And all that you still have yet to be

I happily light a birthday candle

That will shine brightly

Each day

Until next year on this same day

When once again

I get to say thank you

In my own way

But now I

Thank the lord for our family

Enjoy!

This poem is written for my mother when she turned 74 years of age, she is now 76 beautiful years young.

I love you mom!
