Happy Birthday Mom

This is a poem

For my thankful home from which I was born

The hearts

Of you and dear departed Dad �" my history, my lineage

My pen is full with the spirit and gratitude

Of my soul

For knowing I have the treasure

Of such a wide caring family

That makes me believe in humanity

And yes that means you Pat

Lisa, Michelle, Wanda

… and Sasha and Maddox too!

I know things didn’t always go

According to plan as a movie script

But you’ve made me into a man

Who is free and likes himself

That is the gift

And stand proudly

Until the day you have to

Lean on me

Let’s hope that is not for years

And years and years

My Dear Mother

You have done so much!!!

So this I must take the moment to say to you:

I feel gratitude, I feel appreciation

My future horizons are hopeful and wishful

And with truthful celebration

Of love, of hope, of truth, of acceptance

And the intelligent ability �" learning to forgive

Of strength of mind body and heart

And a wise sense of peace

Let it go! Let if flow! Let life blossom!

Let the water behave as itself

It’s been a hard battle

But you’ve made me believe in myself

And all I can tell you with human words

I can only say what you’ve given me:

                    “Everything! Everything! Everything!”

And we all know that time goes by in the wink of an eye

But all you have given me is in my memory and goodness

The best of me

I learned from a great family

You taught me that it is important to stand for love

Even in perilous moments

No matter what others think or say

I would only say I did it my way

And maybe that I’m sorry for all the headaches I have caused

And you have given me confidence and courage

And that is what I need some days of this life

That gift of life, the difficult years you raised, sheltered and protected me

Is greater than any gift of words I have

With honest truthful words

So I thank the one I owe the most to

With hopefully the words that mean the most:

With love, I thank you, my mother

The best MOM a dude could have

Have a happy Birthday, Mom!!!

Love you!

Go on you done good! Enjoy your day!!!

Sincerely,

Your son,
