Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom I miss you so much.
You are still in my heart, so we are never out of touch.
I can still hear your voice and see your sweet smile.
They say life is short, so maybe I’ll see you in a little while.

You are constantly in my thoughts and I am doing just fine.
It’s October the 8th so I thought I would drop you a quick line.
How’s my baby brother, is he keeping you on your toes?
How about those twins, I’m really curious to know?

I have doubled my years since you’ve left and gone home.
My family is close by so I am never alone
Thank you so much for giving me life
I thank God everyday that you were my father’s wife.
