I Celebrated My Mother's Birthday

I celebrated my mother’s birthday by taking a walk,
reveling in her knowledge of every kind of tree.

I celebrated my mother’s birthday with my dog,
who understood my sadness that I could not be there.

I celebrated my mother’s birthday by 
smelling roses, celebrating their scent, which she adored.

I celebrated my mother’s birthday by
smiling at young children, remembering how kind she was to them

I celebrated my mother’s birthday by
saying a prayer that she was having a great time without me

I celebrated my mother’s birthday by
laughing full out at funny things that happened that day

I celebrated my mother’s birthday
by being myself and enjoying the day fully

I celebrated my mother’s birthday
knowing that she was having a terrific day, and I was too.
