A whole pizza but a slice

Maternal never came natural to you
But laugh we did, crazy things you would do,
You caused so much angst, guilt and tension,
But my mother you were, with your fair complexion, 
Years went by and we muddled along more
My tears mostly dry, almost closed the door
Beautiful you were I see this all now, 
Wish you could see me, and express your pride how
I'm happy and safe, Ed is my rock. 
Wish you could meet my friends, my eddy, my flock
Think of you often, today is your day
So I'll bid you goodnight, one thing left to say
Your beauty is famed, your legend is known
I'll see you one day, when I am full grown
