Happy birthday, Mom!


Today's my Mom's 71st bday
Not bad for 71
Since I have a lot on my plate
I had to celebrate her birthday with a breakfast date
We had a simple get together over omelettes
Nice, simple, quiet time
Though I'm 40 and my Mom's 71
I still call her up everyday
Our conversations are not always jovial
But she's still one of the biggest influences in my life
She's my biggest fan
It's embarrassing how proud she is of me
And I, in turn, still do things wanting her to be that
Before we parted ways today
I kissed her happy birthday
She looked at me like she was so proud of what she has accomplished
I wish someday
I could give that same look to my children.
Happy birthday, Mom!
God bless you always and more birthdays to come!
