Blow Out the Candles!
Today is your Birthday mom
You just turned fifty-five
Yet you don’t look a day over forty
Still so beautifully vibrant and alive
Preparations we’re all making
For the woman who gave us life
To help celebrate her special day
Our mom, grandmother and wife
What do you buy for someone?
Who already owns what they wish
A families love, health and closeness
Instead of jewelry, roses or even exotic fish
So close your eyes and make a new wish mom
Blow out those fifty-five candles now
Make a wish entirely for you
For selfishness today is undeniably allowed
