For My Mom, on her Birthday.

On a day like today, it’s important to say,

how important my mom is in so many ways.

I wish I could be there and say face to face,

you deserve a Happy Birthday and state my case.

I was blessed with a mom that’s unlike all others,   

She's dedicated her life to me and my brother. 

 She gives and she gives and then she gives more,

 to the ends of the earth she would go I am sure.

 

She’s funny, she’s smart, and so well informed – she can argue on Palestine or whether earth has warmed. 

 

   And man! have you seen her? your jaw would just drop,

she’s spunky and fit and makes the men want to stop.

 

 The qualities that I love the most about her,

she’s unpredictable and extraordinary, for that there’s no cure. 

 

 She’ll bleach her hair with whitening toothpaste,

then drink 10 cups of green tea to slim her waist.

 

She cooks like a pro and mixes it up,

not once have I seen her use a measuring cup. 

 

She’s a dreamer, a poet, authentic to the core,

she’s been there and done that and is ready for more. 

 

If you don’t know her, you should, she’s genuine GOLD –

            her name is Joy for a reason, 

may the world be told.

 

Happy Birthday Mom.
