My Gift for Mama

- I wrote this poem as a personal gift to my mama for her birthday. For whatever, whenever and however it takes, until I breathe my last I will always be here for you. I love you mama ...-


" My Greatest Love"

Mom, it’s hard to believe,
Today you're sixty five.
I have to say with love,
You're the greatest mom alive.


No one stands thoughtful,
More dedicated than thee.
And no one's been more loving,
To Papa, Tippi and me.


Like mom, the time i was a kid,
So desperate for a bike.
You brought one home, a used one,
And you fixed it so I’d like...


That gorgeous purple color,
Handle bar grips above.
A nifty basket up front,
Mom, you filled it up with love.


You've always had a marvelous,
Sense of humor that's just tops.
And how you find the bright side,
With a will that never stops.


And mom, our home was always,
so comfy and so clean.
You even ironed our play clothes,
I was always proud to be seen.


Your superlative home cooking,
Always taste so good.
If anyone rises to the occasion,
Mom, i knew you would


I think about your life mom,
How thoughtful to all of us.
So giving of yourself,
Without making a single fuss.


I'm just so grateful for it all,
All your gifts and all your care.
Please know as humans go on earth,
You're altogether rare.


So on this special birthday,
When you're sixty five years young.
My wish for you is dreams fulfilled,
And that sweetest songs be sung .


You're a bright spot in the garden,
A legend in my mind.
Mom, if ever I felt lost at all,
You'd help... and I would find.


I wish you many more years,
Of health and ease and grace.
Warm winds of gratitude for you,
And sunshine on your face.


With special wishes for you,
And love that's sure - no chance.
I wish you life with golden thoughts,
And mom, c'mon lets dance...
